Have you noticed any white dots on your iPhone screen? There are two possible reasons for that. Let’s check this.
1. Assistive Touch
iPhone’s AssistiveTouch lets you access certain features in just a tap or two for easier navigation.
With AssistiveTouch on iPhone, you can adapt the touchscreen to fit your needs. If certain gestures don’t work for you, replace them with a tap or other gesture, or use a simple sound. You can also use AssistiveTouch when you need to press iPhone buttons. You can use AssistiveTouch without any accessory or with a compatible adaptive accessory (such as a joystick).
You can use AssistiveTouch to adjust volume, lock your screen, use multi-finger gestures, restart your device, or replace pressing buttons with just a tap.
