Touch accessibility button gone after update 16.7.8 on iPad

I followed the steps to recreate the on-screen button so that I can easily take a screenshot, but the button is just not there! Can anyone help? Has this happened to others? I’m using iPad Pro 9.7” model A1674 with 256 gb capacity.

Screenshots are not triggered using the Accessibility Assistive Touch feature - but can be triggered using the iPad's physical buttons, or more easily using a corner-swipe gesture.

Screenshot using iPad physical buttons:

Screenshot using corner-swipe gesture:

iPadOS 16 and earlier

Settings > General > Gestures >

Allow Finger Swipe From Corner - set to ON
Left Corner Swipe > select Screenshot or Quick Note as required
Right Corner Swipe > select Screenshot or Quick Note as required

iPadOS 17

Settings > Multitasking & Gestures >

Swipe Finger from Corner - set to ON
Bottom Left Corner > select Screenshot or Quick Note as required
Bottom Right Corner > select Screenshot or Quick Note as required
