Saying it’s self explanatory doesn’t solve the issue. The instructions do not work. I’ve toggled it off and the box persists. I’ve toggled on and then off again, still persists. I’ve turned the phone off and restarted, box is still there. It interferes with my ability to use the device, reading content by accidentally pushing at inappropriate times. Real dangerous.
