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

For me, it was something else in Accessibility. Apparently, if anything is enabled in Accessibility the little man shows up.

Ok, so I have a 2021 model Moto G Power on Android 11. EVERYTHING under Accessibility it's set to off, although when the Android upgrade occurred something was on, but i turned it off (don't remember what it was). Yet I still have the little man in bottom right corner. It doesn't do anything, and really is only a minor nuisance at this point. But I'd still like to get rid of it

Welcome to Android Central! Just to be sure, that icon persists even if you change your wallpaper?

I have a s10
Go to settings
Accessibility
Advance setting
Accessibility shortcuts

Make sure they all say NONE

If Not go to

Power and volume up keys
And unselect everything

It should go away

Mine appeared after turning on Avast "Webshield". It can be linked to numerous apps I believe so firstly click on the little man to see what it does. Mine just turned Webshield on and off.
Now go to settings, accessibility, advanced settings. Once in advanced settings you'll see "Accessibility Button" at the top of the advanced settings page. It will clearly state the function it's assigned to. Click on that option. You are now on the "Accessibility button" page. Click "Select actions", this is at the top of this page. You will now see a list of apps and functions.....scroll the list and "uncheck" whichever is checked. My Avast was highlighted with a tick.
This will turn the little man off ....goodluck.

settings -> accessibility

select installed services

Some of the services cause the stupid button to appear. they have to be off. live transcribe (speech to text) is one of them. turn it off. the stupid man icon disappears. live transcribe is just an app. it still works. access it by the apps menu. another service that causes the stupid icon to appear is talkback. What a stupid system.

Welcome to Android Central! That stupid system is pretty important for some people. It's not really that much of a hardship for the rest of us.
