how to disable the on screen moveable screen capture button

I set it up ages ago and can’t remember how I did it so I can disable it. I’m not sure if it was something to do with Accessibility or Assistive touch ?

iPhone 17 Pro Max, iOS 26

Corner swipe gesture Screenshot in IpadOs 26?! Hi everyone, After updating to iPadOS 26, I noticed that the corner swipe gesture (bottom-right corner, swipe up) for taking screenshots no longer works when using Stage Manager or windowed apps. This used to be my favorite way to capture the screen, much faster than pressing hardware buttons and now I find myself switching back to full-screen mode just to take screenshots. Has anyone found a workaround, or is this simply disabled in windowed mode for everyone? Do you also find it frustrating that Apple removed this shortcut, especially since Stage Manager is supposed to be the highlight feature of iPadOS 26? Would be nice to hear if others miss it too, maybe if enough of us raise our voices, Apple will bring it back in a future update.

screenshot buttons iPhone 14 Pro Max Can I change the buttons for screen shots on iPhone 14 Pro Max? The volume up and side button make me take tons of unwanted screenshots and I'd like to disable it. I'm aware you can set up double or triple tap on the back of the phone. I just want to get rid of the volume/side button functionality...

I set up a “button” on my ipad screen I don’t know how to get rid of. Before I realized that I could achieve a screenshot with gestures, I followed directions to place a “button” on my desktop that was programmed to take a screenshot with a double tap. It’s translucent, square with a series of circles inside, and I can move it anywhere on the screen. Somehow, between then and now, its response to a double tap now pulls up the control center and a single pulls up the app picker. Problem is, I don’t need it now and I have no idea what it’s called or where I can find it in the settings to deactivate it. Can anyone help?
