Getting rid of the little round annoying cirlce on the home screens, also known as the assistive touch is different on the iPhone 7.
Simply go to Settings>> Accessibility>>Touch>>Assitive Touch>> OFF
There you go
Yes, it's gone because you turned it off. However, someone turned it on in the first place. I suspect you may have the Accessibility Shortcut enabled. If you leave that enabled, you may find that Assistive Touch keeps getting turned back on. Go to Settings>Accessibility>Accessibility Shortcut. Make sure that there are no check marks next to anything.

Also, the fact that you say "in this household" makes me feel the need to ask if you're sharing the phone with someone. If that's the case, you might want to discuss this with them.
Other than the fact that Accessibility was moved to the top level of settings, Assistive Touch is pretty much where it has always been. If it's on your screen, you also had to have turned it on. Unless of course you're letting other people mess with your phone. And, if you need the Assistive Touch functions, it's not at all annoying. In fact, for some people, it's really important.
It's very annoying. No matter where I move it, it ends up getting in the way. Totally useless in this household.
And if I have to Hunt online to figure out how to get rid of something, well then it's uber annoying.
I've had iPhones since 2008 and have never seen this thing until recently.. It's now gone. GONE I tell you,
Gone.

And no I didn't accidentally turn it on why would I do that?
It just suddenly appeared one day.

I've given you the instructions on how to prevent it from "turning on by itself". Hopefully, you'll heed them.
