Hello Jjccbb123,


It seems like the pointer is missing or isn't showing on your iPad, is that correct? Please check out the following link for information on how to change the pointer appearance when using a mouse or trackpad with iPad: Change the pointer appearance when using a mouse or trackpad with iPad


If you use a mouse or trackpad with iPad, you can change the appearance of the pointer by adjusting its color, shape, size, scrolling speed, and more.

Go to Settings  > Accessibility > Pointer Control, then adjust any of the following:
Increase Contrast
Automatically Hide Pointer
Color
Pointer size
Pointer Animations
Trackpad Inertia (available when connected to a supported multi-touch trackpad)
Scrolling Speed
To customize the buttons of the pointing device, go to Settings > Accessibility > Touch > AssistiveTouch > Devices.


Take care!
