I have an icon that looks like a black square with a white circle in the center. It can be moved to any edge on the screen but it doesn’t jiggle when touching it and so it won’t let me remove it. When opened it has selections for the control center, device, home, Siri and notifications. It stays on every screen is often in the way and dims while not used. Any suggestions on how remove it?

It is a customized setting you can use for various functions including screen shots.
Go to Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Assistive Touch > disable it (turn it off).
Or, you can customize it to show easy one tap access to various functions. Yes, it doesn't disappear and is always visible; I just move it around if it's in my way.
Edit: LotusPilot's post did not show until after I hit post - disregard.
Thank you so much for the help!
You are very welcome. Always delighted to help.
The additional information is interesting. I may decide to customize it in the future, but for now I’m just really happy to get rid of it. Thanks for your impute.
