How to make the pointer easier to see when using a mouse or trackpad with iPhone

If you have difficulty seeing or following the pointer when you use a mouse or trackpad with iPhone, you can change its size and color so it’s easier to locate on the screen. It’s all in Pointer Control, in Accessibility settings.

Go to Settings > Accessibility > Pointer Control, then adjust any of the following:

  • Increase Contrast
  • Automatically Hide Pointer
  • Color
  • Pointer Size
  • Scrolling Speed

To customize the buttons of the pointing device, go to Settings > Accessibility > Touch > AssistiveTouch > Devices.
