Hi everyone!
I’m trying to figure out what this floating bubble on my iPhone is and whether anyone else has experienced this issue after a recent iOS update.
The bubble looks similar to the AssistiveTouch floating button, but AssistiveTouch is turned OFF in my settings.
Here is what is happening:
The bubble appeared after I updated iOS 27.0.1
Tapping it does absolutely nothing. I can’t open a menu or interact with it.
I can move it around the screen, but it never disappears.
It appears over every app, including my Home Screen.
I’ve checked my accessibility settings, confirmed AssistiveTouch is off, and restarted my iPhone, but the bubble is still there.
I’ve attached a screen recording showing exactly what happens when I try to interact with it.
My questions are:
Does anyone recognize what this bubble actually is?
Is there another iOS accessibility feature or system setting that could cause this, even when AssistiveTouch is disabled?
Has anyone experienced this after a recent iOS update?
Is there a way to reset or remove it without having to erase my iPhone?
I’m hoping to identify the actual cause rather than keep trying the same AssistiveTouch troubleshooting steps, since that feature is already turned off and restarting hasn’t helped.
Any suggestions or insight would be greatly appreciated!
