but when we switch the setting off, it should stay off. I get that Apple is just trying to make the user experience better - we're from the government, we're hear to help you. and even if you turn it off, it IOS doesn't care and will turn it back on.ĭoes anyone have any additional light to shed on this? I read in a few places that (and this is conjecture from multiple sources) this is a new 'feature' in IOS 15.6 (and later), that when IOS detects there 'is a problem' with the home button (meaning it doesn't see the one that was shipped from the factory) it very helpfully turns on the Assistive Touch on-screen button - whether you want it or not. Searching the internet, i found some suggestions about settings in the Accessibility section, but none of those made any difference. i'd turn it off, but it would just turn itself on again. after the upgrade the Assistive Touch (on-screen) Home Button was turned on. i recently upgraded IOS from 15.1 to 15.7 that's when the weirdness started. the home button function works great, Touch ID does not (as expected). got a 3rd party button on ebay that looks exactly like the kind sold here on ifixit. I had to replace the home button on my iphone 7.
