Mobile Hide/Show Accessories/Pets/Light Pets technical issue + Answer to why cursor doesn't follow on iOS mobile

Official Terrarian
Your Terraria Device
iPhone 8 Plus
Mobile OS
iOS 15.5
When using keyboard & mouse controls, you are unable to hide/show any pets/light pets and accessories, only way is to change to touchscreen or controller and toggle visibility then change back to keyboard & mouse.


Off topic to this bug report, but seems to be reported a lot: Those on Apple iPhone and/or Apple iPad, if you notice the cursor not following the mouse, that is not a bug from the game, it is actually a side effect due to how Apple devices use their mouse cursor. The developers of Terraria are unable to fix this and cant suggest many solutions. If you want to you can contact Apple Support for suggestions on this, or you can use this work around (that i found accidentally) to make the cursor follow the mouse:

Work Around: Hold down the Middle Click on the mouse for the cursor to follow (this works since iOS doesn't use the Middle Click in its navigation. This may also be ineffective if you use Assistive Touch to set a custom binding to the Middle Click)
 
Can You Show Some Photos or Some Sort Of gif?
The visuals toggle for the accessory/pets has been self resolved, on desktop it was simply clicking the eye icon, it turns out for mobile you just hold ALT then left click the accessory/pet.

As for how iOS handles the cursor, this is still intended and can be regarded as working as designed by the game. Any further troubleshooting with the iOS pointer should be forwarded to Apple Support.
