While the size of the dot-cursor can be altered, you cannot change its style from a dot (representing the “touch” point) to an arrowed pointer.


Available information about customising the Mouse/Trackpad pointer can be found here:

Use a Bluetooth mouse or trackpad with your iPad – Apple Support


While the cursor style cannot be changed to that of pointer, the cursor size and colour is configurable in iPad settings:

Settings > Accessibility > Pointer Control





The screenshot above shows the pointer/cursor in its default colour - with the Pointer Size setting at its minimum.



Apple do invite submission of comments and feature requests via its Product Feedback portal. If you would like to see additional features and capabilities in a future version of iPadOS, such as changing the cursor style, this would be the appropriate channel through which to make such a request. For iPad and iPadOS:
