Mouse pointer size on iOS 14.2

Yes Andre.. absolutely same here... but just don't disable the touch gesture .. it won't let you scroll up down or sideways on various apps... In plain words it would just block the assistive touch from functioning well....

please bear with this size, as of now..!

Seriously Apple.. God... What happened man... we use iPad for it's device compatibility and seamless performance... this cursor size is nothing less than an eclipse man.. and confusing too... pls give back the previous pointer device settings...

believe it or not.. this update is also restricting other mouse features as well... scrolling is not good any more ... sometimes it's just not working to be honest.. like in the settings app..!!!

pls fix it pls...

All fixed. Here was my error in trying to fix this problem. When i set out to do what I call a fresh install, I went to Reset, and Reset All settings & Data. I thought that by doing that, the bare iOS would install, then I would have to either manually go through and start from scratch, or Restore from my Backup.Today I learned at the Apple store, that my idea of a fresh install was NOT what I needed , and that I had to go to my Mac, and Reinstall the iOS to " Factory Settings". That was the big distinction. That way, I didn't carry over any weirdness from the internal iOS that kept on being installed, and causing the Assistive Touch problem ultimately. So, if any of you have gone as far as doing what they call a Fresh install to clear up this problem, by the way I was doing it, please try and do it my way, and thanks for letting me know, if you also were successful. I have to say my Assistive touch problem has completely gone away now as of tonight. I had gone to Apple to pick up a replacement Magic keyboard, but upon learning that after trying my existing keyboard with their Demo model, I learned that it was not my keyboard being a problem. So, I left the new keyboard with them, deciding it would be a waste of time. From there, this afternoon, I have solved the problem. Looking forward to learning whether your fixed keyboard became your Christmas present. Here is the Apple link for a Factory install, in case you need it. https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT201252

and I think that possibly, I had Touch accomodations enabled, and turned it off, and maybe that pushed through the normal behaviour. Was just trying to recreate what I may have done prior to things going right.. See enclosed screenshot

I also noted that when the cursor is big, other things won’t work correctly with the track pad of the magic keyboard. Scrolling up down is lagging.

The cursor wont adapt to text or selections. Touch to clic don’t work everywhere.

It’s a total mess.

iPad Magic keyboard has been acting abnormally to me for quite some time. Even from inception. I occasionally corrected problems by turning settings off and on. Then I would get a stretch of things working properly. Then I strayed off the beaten path and tried Public beta 14,, then 14.2 and things got worse. I thought getting back to normal iOS 14.1 would stabilize things, but didn't. Having same problem of having Assistive touch to stick, and not create problems, like abnormal size of pointer, Assistive touch dot not reacting to anything further like pop up customizations. I basically am turning off assistive touch until I see some affirmation that they have addressed this problem. Productivity on my iPad reduced immensely as this is one of the tools that I use instead of keyboard shortcuts, which are also lacking. Thanks for fixing apple. I think you will see many more people commenting on this Assistive touch problem.

tried that method, but no go. Disabled Perform Touch Gestures,, if it does work it works for 2 seconds, and then back to the same old. Tried even back and forth Disabling and Enabling.

So maybe works for a few of you,, let us know if problems come back shortly thereafter thinking it was fixed.

Just read an article this morning, new article,dealing with Navigation apps not working well with Bluetooth in ios14. Apparently navigation instructions being interfered with. I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see our problem also involving bluetooth. Let me know if you would like to see the article link

Well,, who knows, might be just another piece of the puzzle to solve, and even a separate issue. These bugs will appear the more and more people delve into iOS 14,, Lets hope they can get addressed https://www.autoevolution.com/news/youd-better-not-update-your-iphone-if-you-use-google-maps-on-a-daily-basis-151196.html

Thanks for the article; I suppose it’s possible that this part of the issue, although I don’t think that the apple magic keyboard runs on BT. It directly connects to the smart connector. In any case, I hope Apple is looking at these treads and plans on addressing the issue soon. We paid way too much money for our keyboards to be so buggy with this latest update.

Actually, Fj1811, it does use Bluetooth. “Apple Magic Mouse 2, Magic Keyboard, Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keypad, and Magic Trackpad 2 work wirelessly with your Mac via Bluetooth when they're paired and turned on. If your devices came with a new iMac, they're already paired with the computer.May 30, 2018”

Thanks for the reply. I am using the new apple magic keyboard for my iPad (floating keyboard), and it works without Bluetooth (it is a smart connector device). I have several issues with the magic keyboard after the last update, so I suspect the problem is not unique to BT. Cheers!

Thanks , I too have floating keyboard. Guess i thought the keyboard still worked via internal BT communication with smart connector and that the smart connector really only mostly powered pencil and backlighting. Cheers to you too. Thanks for your observations.

Been having the same problems.Found that attaching the Magic Keyboard to my IPad Pro 12.92020 causes among others, keyboard flashing backlights, trackpad glitches, enlarge cursor, touch glitches etc. All efforts incl restarts don’t work. Finally, deactivate Assistive Touch & used iPad without Magic Keyboard for2 days magically solved the problem.

Found out that all these glitches occur when connecting the iPad to the Magic Keyboard. Among others, trackpad goes haywire, touch glitches, keyboard illumination flashes uncontrollably, notification bell rings without reason. Tried resetting, unable Assistive Touch but does not work. So I enabled Assistive Touch & disconnected Magic Keyboard for 2 days. When I reconnected today, all glitches magically disappears. All problems came about after the iPad OS 14.2 updates. Now have a problem with spacebar press does not “space” words & having to use Shift+Space after every word. Solved that by clearing attribute to Space bar under Keyboard settings. Hope this helps. Also, enlarged cursor has returned to normal.
