Assistive touch issue- keeps turning on automatically

Hello All, I'm having issues where the Assistive Touch button keeps turning on randomly.


I have tried turning it off manually, using Siri as well as turning it off and doing a hard restart. Anyone know what's going on.


My device is an Iphone 7, with IOS 15.7.3

iPhone 7, iOS 15

Hey there mdsidoti,


It's possible AssistiveTouch has been set up or enabled. Use the steps below to check for possible shortcuts that have been created or if you want to turn off AssistiveTouch so it doesn't appear:


When you turn on AssistiveTouch, you see a button appear onscreen. You can drag the button to any edge of the screen, where it stays until you move it again. By default, tapping the button once opens the AssistiveTouch menu. Tapping once anywhere outside of the menu closes the AssistiveTouch menu.

There are a few ways to turn on AssistiveTouch. You can:
• Go to Settings > Accessibility > Touch > AssistiveTouch, then turn on AssistiveTouch
• Use "Hey Siri" to say, “Turn on AssistiveTouch”
• Go to Settings > Accessibility > Accessibility Shortcut, then turn on AssistiveTouch

AssistiveTouch can also be added to the Accessibility Shortcut for quick access from Control Center, or you can use the Side or Home button.

Take care!
