How to turn off labels / description buttons

I have not seen this before on any iOS device. The iPad showing this issue has iOS 16.1.1 Installed. How do I turn off these extra “help bubbles”? I thought this was a setting in the Accessibility section but nothing will turn these off. Every screen and web page displays these “help bubbles” and really makes it difficult to do anything on the iPad. I have looked through all the settings and tried soft and hard reboots, so far nothing seems to work. Please see examples below. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

iPad Pro, 12.9-inch, 6th Gen, Wi-Fi

Hello WVW1960,


Have you checked the 'Labels' section in Accessibility? This article explains more about that: Get started with accessibility features on iPad - Apple Support.


More specifically, this article discusses the labels in the "More display accommodations" section: Use display and text size preferences on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support.


Let us know if we can help with anything else at all or if this doesn't settle your issue so we can look into this further with you. Thanks and have a fabulous day!
