iPad update IOS 16

My iPad since updating to iOS 16 the Assistive Touch button disappears every time I close down. It then requires going to Settings and Accessibility and switching off then on each time to get it back.

iPad, 16

If you are experiencing unexpected behaviour subsequent to a system software update, perform a forced-restart - as this will often clear an isolated software issue:


Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)

If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:

  1. Press and quickly release the volume button nearest to the top button.
  2. Press and quickly release the volume button farthest from the top button.
  3. Press and hold the top button.
  4. When the Apple logo appears, release the top button.




Force restart iPad (models with the Home button)

Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
