It just happened and I can’t get arrow cursor back
iPad, iPadOS 15
I agree. It’s ridiculous. Apple needs to include this change to allow arrow in next update.

Apple changed a perfect functioning arrow for trackpad/mouse into a useless and unstable dot. The performance and experience are way worse. Who thinks about these things?
And on top, we need to provide “feedback”? I paid for an Ipad with a perfectly working arrow cursor, I do not work for Apple, so I do not need to spend time providing feedback or suggestions. Please give me what I paid for and what was delivered. Do not change my product into something else (and much worse)
While the size and colour of the Pencil Cursor can be altered from iPad settings, iPadOS does not support changing the cursor style.
Apple does invite submission of comments and feature requests via its Product Feedback portal. If you would like to see additional flexibility in choosing a pointer style of your choice in a future version of iPadOS, this would be the most appropriate channel through which to make a request:

Agree!
How can I get a cursor arrow on iPad Air 2022 instead of grey circle?
