Window icon in Porsche Connect app - what does it mean/do?

[NoRPM22]

Does anyone know what this window icon in the connect icon mean and do? The car is in garage, unlocked with windows closed.

Update: And... the icon mysteriously disappeared. My hypothesis here is that just a few mins earlier I was in the car and then I was playing with the app to see how it works (I am still learning the new car!). So, perhaps the small opening of the window that is part of doors opening and closing may have been detected and reported on the app, until it took a few mins to clear it out from the server.... just putting my software engineering hat on

Those symbols indicate that the window is open in some degree. However, I get that icon almost everyday and then it goes away when app has connected to the servers. Two different cars and the same poor functionality in the App.

If they actually stay after 30 seconds or so that means you left your windows open.

Indeed another feature of the world's most useless and unreliable app - apparently your window is open (chances are that it isn't). Sometimes you'll see other false positives but unfortunately as you can't rely on the app to report accurately you are forced to manually check.

Your car, the Porsche servers and the app have not finished synchronising. The circle in the upper left corner should have a fixed green light when they are all connected. It probably has signalled that the windows were not fully closed when you left or entered the car. If it still shows the same when the ring is green, it would mean that you have an open window (s).
