Hi erudita

welcome to the Apple (user-to-user) Community.

Re: how to turn off switch control

Wondering if you want to turn it off entirely : see (1)

or

Just to turn it off temporarily from the device you are using: see (2)

Apple support's online article (link below)

Use Switch Control on your device to control another Apple device - Apple Support

says:

(1) Turn off Switch Control entirely.

If you'd like to turn off Switch Control entirely, follow these steps for your device:

Turn off Switch Control on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Use your switch to navigate to Settings > Accessibility > Switch Control, and turn the setting off. 

You can also triple-click the Home button or the Side button on certain models at any time to exit Switch Control.

Turn off Switch Control on a Mac

Use your switch to navigate to System Preferences > Accessibility > Switch Control, and deselect Enable Switch Control."

To stop controlling another device, press and hold your switch for ten seconds.

Your switch will control the original device again.

All the best :-)
