There’s an item named “HOOGLES” with a cartoon bear in my iMessage apps settings under “Only in Messages. I’d like to know what it is
Unknown item in iMessage settings
Have you installed Bear markdown notes app, or Hoogles ?
If so, found this by googling. Hope it will help.
A bear icon in the iMessage app drawer usually belongs to the Bear markdown notes app, which installs an extension for sending cute Bear iMessage stickers in your chats.
Manage the Bear Icon
Go to the Store or look for the Manage tab.
Find Bear in the list and toggle the switch on to enable it. (Note: You must have the main Bear app installed on your device for the sticker pack option to appear).
If that answers your question, don't forget to close the thread on the answer.
