Hi Bermuda1970,


Thanks for contacting Apple Support Communities!


We understand that you see a blue highlight when using your iPad.


Do you happen to have Switch Control enabled? You can go to Settings > Accessibility > Switch Control to check. You can also learn more about Switch Control here: Use Switch Control to navigate your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

"Turn Switch Control on or off

Go to Settings > Accessibility > Switch Control and turn the setting on or off. You can also triple-click the Home button or the Side button on certain models at any time to exit Switch Control."


We hope this helps.


Cheers!
