Mouse pointer size on iOS 14.2

Good evening! When I updated to iOS 14.2, my mouse pointer size became bigger, and I thought it was not normal, I tried to reduce the pointer, but it was still so much bigger. When I turned off AssistiveTouch, my pointer was normal again. So, now I can’t use my mouse with AssistiveTouch turned on, and I need that sometimes, I hope Apple will fix it on the next software update. This is the temporary solution that I’m using.

Well, tell me if you guys have this issue too.

André.

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...

Go to accessibility, touch, assistive touch, scroll down, and turn off “perform touch gestures.” That fixed it for me.

Try to scroll with the Apple Magic Mouse after you turn it off.

Thanks so much for sharing this.

I was getting really irritated by it too as I also use Assistive Touch features.

Thankfully now I know how to get it back to the smaller size.

I felt feeling like that. The pointer size magic keyboard trackpad iOS 14.2 was bigger than previous. I hope next iOS version will be Okay in this case. Sai Tun Tun, Myanmar.

Turn off “Perform Touch Gestures”. That fixes it.

Again, it might "Fix" the pointer issue But it makes "Perform Touch Gestures" unusable as would be expected by the term "Turn Off".

So in the end, NO it does not fix the issue.

I’m really bothered by this too. Also, ipad is slow now. I wish I hadn’t updated but the pointer size is ANNOYING and doesn’t look sleek. Please Apple fix this!
