Getting rid of the white dot that pops up where you touch screen

[PsychDoc]

It's really annoying and I can't seem to find a way to turn it off in the settings of the phone.

Can someone help me with this.

TIA

I think this is what you're looking for:

If you go into the Developer options in Settings, under Input, uncheck Show touches.

I looked for "developer" under language and input, but I couldn''t find developer.

Go into "about phone" then tap "build number" 7-8 times. That will allow you to enable "developer options." From there just do what was described above.

OMG I LOVE YOU. I have been trying to get rid of this for the past 3 weeks. I could not find developer anywhere. I see this question asked everywhere and I will be sure to pass it on. It was driving me insane or should I say it was insanely driving me...

Mary Christina Berda. This message was for you. Thank you so much for your post that helped me from pulling the trigger. I have been working on this for 2 weeks to get rid of that white Trail.

I followed the steps. Show touches is already turned off and the annoying dot is still there.

Same for me. Touches is off and circle is still there. To make things worse, I moved it to the bottom of the screen and now it's stuck there and I can't move it around anymore. What a nuisance.

Anyone have any other suggestions?
