How can I remove the text magnifier square on my iPad?

Apple Island (AI) has yet another basic feature that no one bothered to think through. Can someone please help me remove this annoying text magnifier square from my screen? Please share the incantation or coordinates to one of those highly needed, yet rarely seen, mystical things called “preference checkboxes”. And if there’s a genius at the bar who isn’t drunk on profits, maybe start by making it not an anxious guessing game to simply edit between two letters in a word - THEN unveil these other flunktions.


Thank you,

Lowly Customer

First, perhaps understand the Apple Support Community is a user-to-user technical forum. Contributors here are all end-users, just like you. Other than the site Moderators, Apple neither monitor nor participate here. As such, if your intent is to have your comments seen by Apple, or hope to reach Apple Support through these forums, you will be disappointed.


Apple Island?


Consider posting a screenshot of precisely what it is that you see - as this will help Contributors understand the nature of your problem - and perhaps be able to offer appropriate advice or guidance.
