Hey there,
You can use a pointer to click icons on your screen that you might otherwise tap, or use it to navigate the AssistiveTouch menu. If you want to use an input button to show and hide the menu, go to Settings > Accessibility > Touch > AssistiveTouch, then select Always Show Menu.
With your pointer connected, turn on AssistiveTouch. You'll see a grey, circular pointer and the AssistiveTouch button on your screen.

Thanks. I’ve used it successfully in the past. But now…the placement of the pointer circle on the screen does not align with items or text I want it open or highlight, etc. anymore. You have to position the pointer two lines, sometimes one or 1.5 below the item you want to point at for it to be selected and hope for the best. It’s annoying. It’s like the screen needs to be calibrated with the pointer but there is no such function. The touch screen works fine in normal non-accessibility mode. Only when using a mouse (pointer mode) does the cursor alignment skew.
