Blue rectangle surrounding the options located in the bottom bar in various apps

Hi Apple,

I have an iPhone 12 which is working absolutely perfect but there’s one minor glitch that is bothering me so much. For a few weeks I have been noticing a blue box around the options located in the bottom bar that we have in apps like photos, Apple Music, Phone, etc.Every app that has that bottom bar shows this glitch. I am not facing any issues but still it bothers me a little. What can be the solution for this problem?

These are the screenshots of some of the apps that show this glitch.

iPhone 12, iOS 16

Thanks for your help.

I found something else after you told me that these are called button shapes.

Hello Ritwik2004!

To turn these rectangles, (or as they’re officially called “Button Shapes”) OFF, please go to: Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size. Now, in the top section, please turn OFF the switch next to “Button Shapes.”

I hope you this is helpful. Good Luck!
