Final answer:
To remove a floating icon on Android 12, identify the responsible app and disable the feature in the app's settings. If it's a system feature, adjust settings in the system's accessibility menu. Holding down the floating icon may lead to a quick access button for these settings.
Step-by-step explanation:
To remove a floating icon on an Android 12 device, you need to identify which app is responsible for the icon and adjust settings accordingly. The icon might be from a chat app, a screen recorder, or a toolbox feature. Follow these general steps:
- Locate the app that's displaying the floating icon. This could be evident from the design of the icon or if you remember enabling a feature in a particular app.
- Open the app. Navigate to the app's settings or configuration menu.
- Look for options labeled as 'Chat Heads', 'Bubbles', 'Floating Widget', 'Overlay', or similar. These settings can typically be turned off.
- If the icon is a system feature like an accessibility shortcut, go to the main system settings, tap on 'Accessibility', and then look for features that might use floating icons. Here, you can toggle off the feature or adjust its settings.
If you cannot locate the setting, you might need to hold down on the floating icon, and if it's available, a small info button (i in a circle) might appear. Tapping this will take you directly to the app's settings related to the floating icon.
In case these steps do not resolve the issue, you may need to consider uninstalling the app or seeking a more detailed guide specifically for the app or feature causing the issue.
