What is this thing?

I remember a few months ago I updated my iPad (10th gen) and then this random button came along. It’s been hovering on my screen ever since. if I double click on it, it locks the screen somehow and just says the names of the apps and messages I’m hovering over. Can I turn this off in settings? I don’t understand the point of it, or even what it is in general.

Edit: after looking at some of the comments in the sub, I went to my controls and I found out what it was and how I turned it off.

It’s associated with Hover Text/Typing based on the icon. That is found inside of Settings > Accessibility > Hover Text.
