loading spinner
Waiting animation icon
A loading spinner is an animated icon—typically a rotating circle or arc—displayed while software processes a request.
It signals that something is happening and the user should wait: The loading spinner appeared while the page fetched data.
Unlike progress bars, spinners indicate activity without showing how long remains.
