Auto update broke assistive touch feature

iPhone 15 auto updated to version 27.0.1 last night. I’ve used Assistive Touch for years. I’ve had it set so one click brought me to the Home Screen. Two clicks allowed me close programs. Long click was a screen shot. Then I had a bunch of other things I’ve programmed such as drawing a checkmark on the screen for using Apple Pay.


This update got rid of all of my settings for assistive touch. Not only did it get rid of all of my settings, it’s not letting me set them to what I had. I’ve literally spent all morning trying to fix this. I am disabled. This is incredibly frustrating.


Ive tried turning off assistive touch waiting a few seconds and turning back on. I’ve tried force restarting my iPhone. Nothing is working. Will there be an update to fix this?

iPhone 15, iOS 27
