Hey there, RLBodine6776.


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! Thanks for the post about the highlighted text that you're seeing and want to turn off. We'd be glad to see how we can help.


Based on what you mentioned, it sounds like you might be talking about Switch Control, which is an Accessibility feature. Check out Use Switch Control to navigate your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch and see if this matches what you're seeing. If so, you can disable the feature from there.


Let us know what you find out.

Take care
