Hi,

You can try this: the Magnification Oval in mobile Excel usually appears when the touch zoom or text selection feature is triggered, so to get rid of it, try tapping outside the oval or closing any active cell selection, then restart the app if it persists; also check in Excel’s settings under "Touch" or "Accessibility" to see if any magnification or zoom options can be turned off. Have you noticed if it appears only when editing certain cells or in all spreadsheets?

Kind regards,

Hi,

Excel for iOS really doesn’t offer any touch- or zoom-related settings in its app menu, and your screenshot confirms that. That’s why the oval feels so random: it’s not an Excel setting at all. It’s actually an iOS feature called the magnifier, which appears when you long-press text or drag the cursor in a cell. It can also pop up if the screen registers a "touch-and-hold' gesture even when you didn’t intend it.

Kind regards,
