Random Shortcut bar keeps popping up randomly when doing anything on my iPad

Hi,


lately I’ve been on my iPad at a bar pops up in the middle of my screen with all the shortcuts on it and I don’t know how to get rid of it?

Hey there Delaney1269,


Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We understand that you're noticing a pop-up with shortcuts in the middle of your screen. We're happy to provide some assistance.


It sounds like this might be AssistiveTouch. Look here on how to access this feature and turn it on/off:


Use AssistiveTouch on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


If this is not the issue, was anything updated or changed when this started occurring? Does this occur when using a specific app? What shortcuts are you seeing?


Keep us posted!
