Hello, with all actions I take, there is a comment appearing on the screen. It's very annoying and gets in the way, for example, when I want to write something. Look at the photo... I can't find anything where I can turn it off. It suddenly appeared... I probably accidentally activated it somehow... I would be very grateful for an answer... Regards.

Good day, I recently purchased a Redmi12 8gb 256gb phone. I would like to inquire about the purpose of the bottom camera out of the 3 rear cameras, as it doesn't turn on for any function! I have tried all options! Photos and videos on the top, macro in the small one in the middle... I am sending a picture of the back. January 2024. Thank you.
