Assistive Touch button appears in screenshots

the assistive touch button appears in my screenshots

it’s kind of annoying when it’s blocking a bunch of text or an image

on an iphone15 (bought June 2024)

noticed it only after ios26.1 along with my other camera issues

i’ve turned it off and on and restarted my phone but it still appears

but only when i use the assistive touch menu to take a screenshot which i’ve done for years

i tried taking a screenshot using the vol+ power button and that one works as normal

attached is a screenshot that’s shows the assistive touch button it goes up to 100% visibility when it’s normally on 30-40%

iPhone 15, iOS 26
