Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix the assistive touch icon from moving? Sometimes it will stay where I put it but sometimes I find that it has moved covering up a spot on the screen that I need so I have to move it back.
Hi,
I'm a newbie to the assistive touch setting. I enabled it on my iPhone 14 pro, because that, to my knowledge, is the only way I can have my phone restart, as opposed to doing a manual power off and power on. So what I'm wondering, is how can I set where my assistive touch icon is? It's really weird, because mine is on the bottom of the screen, just when I don't need it, and then I can't find it when I want to do a restart and need it. Any help would be appreciated.
Hi, That's what I thought, but when I asked siri to restart, she said "sorry, I can't help you with that", or something along those lines. Now, I do have type to siri enabled, because several people in my household ask me who I'm talking to when I'm talking to siri, which never fails to complicate things, but that's neither here nor there. :)

It moves on drag
As far as I know it is designed to move on drag.
how do you even know where it is?

Restart with siri
IOS 16 allows you to restart with the help of siri. So ditch the assistive touch, which is a wandering cursor of sorts.

Siri is so unreliable, by the time you get it to do what you wan
Siri is so unreliable, by the time you get it to do what you want, you may as well do it yourself.
The only way to find the assistive touch icon is by explor by touch.
You can't just swipe until you find it.
I mainly use it to clear the cache because unless you have the SE range, no home button.
Do you clear the cache by restarting?
Hi, You mention clearing cache, do you do that by restarting, or is there another function in the assistive touch menu?
clear cache
What I do to clear the cache is make sure assistive touch is on, because you'll need the virtual home button.
Then you press volume up, followed by volume down, you'll need to release the first button before pressing the second button.
then you hold the side button till the power off screen comes up.
Find the assistive touch icon and double tap.
After double tapping, the home button should be at the bottom towards the sentre, near the charging port.
Triple tap on that and you should be done.
If you have a pass code you then get prompted to enter it, if not, you get taken to the home screen.
HTH.
