iPhone shortcut button on screen

Hey there!


I have this weird quirk and wondering if anyone can help me locate it. I've literally Googled every possible search-term combination I can think of and now pretty lost!


I've enabled this little assistive bubble thing for video playback control and unsure now how to remove it (I can't remember where I turned it on!). It is not the standard Assistive Touch thing that shows an array of options, this one shows playback controls.


I've attached a screenshot showing it in both open & closed stats, if that helps! 😊
