Little man icon in lower right on bottom home screen. How to remove Galaxy S8?

[Android Central Question]

Just appeared,probably something I was doing earlier

 

[loekie32]

I had little man too, did what is suggested:

LG V40 ThinQ

Go to Settings
Go to Accessibility
Scrolll down to 'talkback' (in my case it is "select to speak")

Turn it OFF


Worked for me. little man gone!

To be fair, this thread is 2 years old so the process outlined in it is for older versions of Android. Enabling Talkback on my Pixel 2 XL on Android 10 does not reveal this "little man".

We have several recent threads on our forums where people have asked about this "little man".

On Samsung Galaxy Note 9, go to settings, general management, reset, reset accessibility settings, reset settings. That's it & my phone went back to normal.

None of these work on my LG Stylus 6...I tried the accessibility features I had that were mentioned here...I found the BLUE man in a circle...that AIN'T him...mine is like someone else said..tap it (ACCIDENTALLY CONSTANTLY) n I get the orange border and it zooms/enlarges the screen...so far the ONLY way I can figure out is to change the NAVIGATION BAR from BUTTONS to GESTURES which REALLLLLLLY REALLLLLLLY SUCKS! PLEASE SOMEONE help...even if ya can figure out how to just MOVE him to a DIFFERENT place in the buttons...I DESPISE that little man!
I want him DEAD!

Welcome to Android Central! Does this also happen in Safe Mode? https://www.hardreset.info/devices/lg/lg-stylo-6/safe-mode/. This would be to check if that "feature" is actually due to some 3rd party app you installed.

I figured it out. It was not TalkBack but Magnification, which is also in the Accessibility setting in the Pixel 3. I had turned it on not knowing the little man would show up. Once I turned it off he disappeared. Yea!

This worked for me, too. Note that activation of this setting caused the "stickman" button to replace the "switch keyboard" button (found in keyboard settings) that I find so useful. It appears you can have one or the other but not both.

I still have a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 :-[ on Verizon, latest OS updates installed.

To get rid of Little Man icon in the lower right corner I had to:

1. Go to "Settings"
2. Get into "Accessibility"
3. Scroll down to "Installed Services" and get into it
4. Turn Off "Accessibility Menu"

That's what worked for me.

Tried all the options mentioned here, everything is OFF on my phone, but little man does NOT leave (LOL)
Not sure what else to do!?

Tried all options discussed above, still little man icon not gone. Asus ROG 2, this man appeared after Android 11 upgrade.

Go to settings, accessibility, advanced settings, there you should look for accessibility buttons and turn off all the services that are enabled inside of that option.

I have appkiller, from playstore it was that where the little man came from on my phone.
go to the settings that others have already said and look for appkiller or maybe another app you have recently put on, and change accordingly.

To get ride of Little Man lower right bottom....

Go to setting then...
Accessibility then...
scroll down to Talkback....
Turn IT OFF.

Done

Go to your phone settings. Then go to accessibility. Locate anything that has to do with Any desk control service and turn it off. Little guy will disappear.
Hope this helps people.
Good day,
James

If your having issues responding on the website can try these mobile apps

This can also be the "Extra Dim Shortcut" Function in "Visibility Enhancements". If you push the little dude and your screen dims to a barley noticeable level then this is your problem..

This worked for me on my Galaxy S20 also. So glad I got rid of that little man in the bottom right corner of my screen, which I kept accidentally hitting.
