Button with no use, what is it?

I found this button on the apps menu in settings on my iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 26.1. When I click it it does a small animation but doesn’t do anything. (I’m talking about the + button on top right corner) is it normal? Is it a feature Apple is working on? If it’s not normal and needs to be fixed how to fix it?

I don't have a clear answer to what this "+" button is. I just checked on my iPhones, one on iOS 18 = no + button, and one on iOS 26.1 = no + button. I've tried turning a few different features on and off but can't seem to trigger this button.


It could be a software glitch - have you tried restarting to see if it goes away?
