Assistive Touch automatically opens

I am using iPhone 11 with iOs 13.6. Whenever I tap on the screen assitive touch automatically opens even though I do not touch it. Sometimes it happens and sometimes it does not happen. I have checked all my settings and I haven't found anything weird. Everything seems just fine.

iPhone 11, iOS 13

Hello lakshya_27,



Thanks for that info and for choosing the Apple Support Communities. If we understand correctly, you are having an issue with Assistive Touch turning on Assistive Touch on your iPhone unexpectedly. First, see if you are accidentally tapping the side button 3 times or from the Control Center and here is more info:

Next, make sure your iPhone is up to date, as the updates contain stability fixes that can resolve issues like yours, as well as important security updates to keep your iPhone safe.

Cheers!

Thanks for replying, lakshya_27, and that additional info, it really helps! Next, see if this is related to the Back Tap feature of your iPhone, and here is more info:



Use Back Tap on your iPhone



Next, use your Mac or PC to backup and restore your iOS software to factory settings, as this process erases the information and settings on your device and installs a fresh copy of the latest iOS software. Temporarily set up your phone as new to test your issues, and then restore your back up and test the issues again.
