Have you tried this ?


2. Turn Off Dwell Control

Dwell Control allows you to perform actions by pausing the pointer over an item, which can leave a persistent target circle on the display. 

  • Open Settings.
  • Tap Accessibility.
  • Tap Touch.
  • Select AssistiveTouch (even if AssistiveTouch itself is off, the sub-settings might be active).
  • Scroll down and toggle off Dwell Control.
