typing dots
Message being composed
Typing dots are the animated indicator showing that someone is composing a message in a chat application—usually three dots pulsing or bouncing.
They signal that a reply is coming, creating anticipation or anxiety depending on context: I've been staring at the typing dots for two minutes.
Also called typing indicator or typing bubble.
