A grey icon with a white dot in it has appeared on my iPad's screen. If I touch the dot, it opens a subscreen, showing Six other icons: home, control center, device, notifications, etc. How do I deactivate this feature?
MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
Settings>General>Accessibility>Assistive Touch .... disable it.

Many thanks, Giulio. I must have had a “cofveve” moment, half-asleep, to enable the feature, which I otherwise would not have activated. Thanks again.
You're most welcome. Have a nice day.
