Assistive Touch Button Not Moving, Stuck In iOS 16 (Fixed!)
Assistive Touch not moving iOS 16
Assistive Touch not moving in iOS 16? Is the digital Home button stuck on screen after the update? You’re not alone. AssistiveTouch not working appears to be a widespread bug. Fortunately, there’s a quick fix for it!
Assistive Touch Not Moving
The issue has been initially signaled by lucinda:
“Assistive touch button not moving on the screen since I’ve updated to os 16!”
We couldn’t replicate this issue, but have found several other reports on Twitter.
Update: Apparently, users affected by this issue had Assistive Touch turned ON prior to the update. Does that enable the feature after updating to iOS 16 should be safe.
How To Fix Assistive Touch Stuck In iOS 16
Users affected by this issue have confirmed the following fixes:
1. Turn AssistiveTouch OFF & ON
- Open Settings and scroll for Accessibility.
- Tap on Touch -> AssistiveTouch.
- Turn the feature OFF, wait a couple of seconds and turn it back ON.
2. Restart iPhone
If you continue to encounter Assistive Touch problems, you should also perform a device reboot.
A fresh start should clear minor glitches. I recommend you a force restart as shown here (iPhone X or later) or here (iPhones with Home button)
