How to remove Notification Center circle icon on iPhone 15 Pro?

I have an iPhone 15 pro. How do I remove the Notification Center circle icon that is supposed to be a shortcut but I find it annoying.

To remove the floating circle on your iPhone 15 Pro—which is actually a virtual home button called AssistiveTouch rather than a notification icon—turn off the feature in your settings: 

  1. Open Settings on your iPhone.
  2. Tap Accessibility.
  3. Select Touch (under the "Physical and Motor" section).
  4. Tap AssistiveTouch.
  5. Toggle off the switch next to AssistiveTouch. 


if this is a shortcut that is not working anymore rather than assistive touch, hold it to remove it
