Big arrow stuck on iPad screen

Anyone know what the big “up arrow” icon is doing on my iPad screen and how to remove it. Thank you in advance.

Hello TessaBo,


It looks like you're seeing an arrow on the iPad screen. We'll be glad to assist.


Do you have anything connected to your iPad, such as a keyboard? If so, if you disconnect it and Restart your iPad, do you continue to see the same thing?


Have you recently changed any settings on your iPad? For instance, have you turned on any touch accommodations? Use touch accommodations on iPad - Apple Support


Try backing up and updating your iPadOS. Use these steps: Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


Test and let us know what you find out.


Take care.
