Hey all.
I'm pretty sure I already know the answer to this, but is there any way to stop this annoying message from constantly reappearing in the voiceover settings? I've clicked hide, but it just keeps happening.

Have you tried restarting your phone?

I think it has something to do with the tips app, and I know I messed around with those settings a few years ago so I wouldn't see them popping up all over my screen, but it was years ago.

I've never seen any messages like that in all my time using IOS.

Or perhaps it has something to do with hints?

I've had this problem since sometime in iOS 16. I have no idea what the problem is, I have hints turned off.

It's annoying but it should fix it.

Your mileage may vary though. For me it’s a very mild annoyance on the occasions when I go into VO settings which isn’t often. I’ve tried everything to make it go away but it always comes back. Just 1 extra swipe though to be past it. Considering I may swipe in the region of 10,000 times a day or similar. It’s no big deal for me. A reset would take a good couple of hours to put everything right.

Delete the Tips app. Should fix it.
