icon issue on iPhone 15 iOS 26.0.1 update

There is an annoying icon showing on my iPhone 15 bottom right after updating to iOS 26.0.1. I don’t know what it is or how to get rid of it. It’s in the way when I’m in apps or browser blocking content. Anyone know what it is and how to get rid it?

iPhone 15, iOS 26

Please follow this path,


iPhone > Settings > Accessibility > Touch > AssistiveTouch > AssistiveTouch > Off > if it is off momentarily turn it on and then off again. Restart iPhone.

Thank you, Jeff. That doesn’t appear to be it though. I followed your direction and the Assistive Touch icon then appeared over the “annoying” one. I continued with the instructions nonetheless and it’s still there. I can’t make it out. I’ve held it down for several seconds to see if maybe it can be deleted like other icons but not the case. When I click the icon it lightens up. When I click it again it darkens up again. No idea.
