How to Remove the Floating Widget on Samsung Galaxy A51 5G

Hi there! It sounds like you might have enabled a floating widget like Samsung's "Assistant Menu" or another shortcut tool from an app. Here are a few things to try to get rid of it:

1. Disable the Assistant Menu

If the floating widget looks like a small circle with 4 squares inside (a blue/white icon), it's likely the Assistant Menu. To turn it off:

Go to Settings

Tap Accessibility

Tap Interaction and dexterity

Toggle Assistant Menu to Off


2. Check for Third-Party Apps

If it came from an app you installed:

Long press the floating icon — it might show which app it belongs to.

Or go to Settings > Apps and check recently installed apps.

Once you find the app, you can either:

Open the app and check its settings to disable the floating widget

Or Uninstall the app if you don’t need it



3. Check Smart Sidebar or Edge Panels

Some Samsung models include an Edge Panel or Smart Sidebar feature:

Go to Settings > Display > Edge Screen

Disable Edge Panels if they’re on

The floating accessibility widget is definitely annoying, as is any floating widget.  I don't know why anyone wouldn't think it would be in the way most of the time.  If you need the accessibility button, elect to put it on your navigation bar. I'm unaware of any other floating widget, but one may exist. So, if it is not the accessibility button which is it?

I have a floating screenshot button. Driving me mad. Can't seem to remove it. Tried everything suggested on here. 😞 😞
