How To Get Rid Of Blue Box On iPhone XR (iOS 13.4)

Some of our readers reported about a blue box on iPhone XR screen that keeps jumping from one point to another.

Such a feature can be enabled, which means that it can also be disabled. In fact, it’s not enabled by default and if the blue box started jumping around without apparent reason or cause, then you might have inadvertently enabled it, or there’s a minor issue with your device. 

But don’t worry, it’s not really a problem and you can get rid of it easily. So, if you’re one of the iPhone XR users who has this issue after the iOS 13.4 update, continue reading as we may be able to help you.

The blue box should be gone by now. That’s how easy it is to get rid of it. However, if the blue box did not disappear even after disabling the Switch control feature, then it means that there’s a problem with the firmware. What you have to do next is to reset all the settings of your iPhone XR. You have to do these steps: 

  1. From the Home screen, tap Settings. 
  2. Find and tap General. 
  3. Scroll down to the bottom of the screen, and then touch Reset. 
  4. Touch Reset All Settings. 
  5. If prompted, enter your security lock. 
  6. Tap Reset All Settings at the bottom of the screen, and then tap Reset All Settings again to confirm.

Tap Reset All Settings at the bottom of the screen, and then tap Reset All Settings again to confirm.

Your iPhone will reboot after this, once it has finished rebooting, try to see if there’s still a blue box jumping around. Based on experience, this is as far as you need to do to fix the issue. But if it doesn’t fix it, then you have no other choice but to factory reset your iPhone.
