gray dot on iphone 8+

A grey icon with a white dot in it has appeared on the iPhone 8+ screen.

Touching the dot activates a subscreen with six other functions. How do I

deactivate this icon? I tried to go into Settings, accessibility, touch screen to disable it as mentioned back in 2018 for the ipad, but for the iPhone, those options weren't available.

This is assistive touch --> Use AssistiveTouch on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch ...


  • Go to Settings > Accessibility > Touch, then select AssistiveTouch to turn it off.
