Weird phone thing

[af1212]

I was on a call and somehow must have bumped something on my phone.

This appeared. Touching the red circle or the white bubble appears to do nothing.

Any idea what it is and what it does?

ETA - turning my phone off and on made it go away but I’m still curious if anyone knows the answer.

I would think it was just a glitch.

This. It looks like the photo button or something.

IPhone or android?

It looks like the thing you slide to answer a call, or the photo button.

My android can move the photo button around and make it look like that. I think I resolved that by dragging it back to the original photo button.

If you can't drag it or move it, I would assume it's a glitch.

Try restarting your phone

My google search finds this: his looks like the widget from recording audio in Messages, with the send button (as shown in Send photo, video, or audio messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support). However, I am not sure if it is supposed to show there.

Do you have a home button on your phone? If so, then that is the button used for the touch screen in case the home button breaks.. On the iPhone it is called assistive touch. Maybe your phone glitched out on that?

Thanks all.

I have an iPhone - no home button - iOS 14 or whatever most recent is.

Sounds like just a weird glitch. Was hoping it would open secret portal to utopia- oh well
