iPhone Mouse Inverted

When I connect a mouse via Bluetooth to my iPhone both x and y axis are inverted. This is the case if I use assistive touch or not. I can find the natural scrolling option but cant find a invert mouse option. Before it was also doing this but after I messed with the sensitivity it fixed it but now changing the sensitivity is not fixing it. I have also tried forgetting the device and reconnecting to no avail. Anyone got ideas?

Hi MoulderUtes,


Thanks for posting! Using a mouse with your iPhone is always great. We understand you're finding that your mouse movements are inverted. We're happy to help out! Knowing that you've already checked the "Natural Scrolling" setting is helpful.


Is this an Apple-branded mouse, or third-party? If you have access to an alternate mouse, are you able to pair it to your iPhone and replicate the issue with that mouse as well?


As another possibility, have you tried to Restart your iPhone and test again? If you found the issue was temporarily resolved by adjusting settings but returned shortly after, a restart could be helpful.


Also, to rule out other possible factors, does this same mouse track as expected when used with another device?


Let us know, and be sure to also include your current iOS version as found under Settings > General > About, along with your iPhone model.


Take care.
