So to summarize, a screenshot not showing anything unusual or unexpected, and not showing the square box?


Might this be the icon seen?



If so, then: Settings > Accessibility > Touch > AssistiveTouch > [off]


There are a few other potential options for the mystery box, including Zoom: Settings > Accessibility > Zoom
