Hallo Group,

i occasionally get an arrow in a black box at the top right and side of my screen.

What does this indicate/mean?


I have to reboot my IPad to get rid of it.


thanks for any answers in advance.

If I recall correctly, the illustrated icon refers to one of the Accessibility features - although I don’t immediately recall which one.


If you can provide a screenshot of your Accessibility settings page, this will provide a suitable starting point for investigation.

Settings > Accessibility


Here is the documentation that describes how to trigger the screenshot:

No it’s an arrow in a black box that appears on the top right hand side of the screen.

I rebooted the IPad and it has now gone again.

there were some previous questions about this which I have subsequently seen (with a screenshot from someone) but nobody seems to know what it is?

The arrow does not respond to any clicking, pinching at all.

it is like the arrow on your keyboard above the 123 symbol but in black.

best regards.

Rossi.
