Guided access screen mark

When I activate guided access in IOS my screen shows a big mark through it.

This mark is grey in colour and resembles a large cut but as soon as guided access is turned off this disappears.

iPad Mini, iOS 8.3

It sounds like the screen mask where you disable parts of the screen. Are there four small dots (handels) you can use to control the size of the mark ? If so pusk all the dots together then tap them. I tried to get a screen shot but it wouldn't copy.

Below is the section from the User Guide that I think you need.


“Disable app controls and areas of the app screen: Draw a circle or rectangle around any part of the screen you want to disable. Drag the mask into position or use the handles to adjust it’s size.”
