But fans quickly hit back as someone replied: “I love you Nate…but you lost to Jake Paul…”

“He tends to randomly download a bunch of apps and never use them, so no idea where it could have come from. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.”

Second, you can set it to the Accessibility Shortcut, which means it will activate when you triple-click the side button.

And thirdly, you can ask Siri to turn it on or off with a voice command.

But it is now a blue circle with two white arrows on the left and right sides, and three vertical white lines in the middle.
