Cannot unselect “voice“ as Rotor item in iOS 18

Hi, is there a workaround for this please, to rid off “voices“ from appearing in my list of selected rotor items? Otherwise this is a bug.I find that no matter how many times I go to the rotor items list under VoiceOver settings and unselect “voices“, and hit the back button multiple times to come out of it, it keeps on reappearing cluttering up visible list of rotor items.

Unless I am misunderstanding you, the voices rotor item will de-populate if you do not have any additional voices in the voices rotor under the speech settings within voiceover settings. And will re-populate when you add voices to the voices rotor.

I hope that makes sense.

With the language rotor in previous versions of iOS, it was dimmed and you couldn’t unselect it if you had other languages in the rotor. Removing those languages would make that rotor disappear.

Brian's pointer worked. I had a voice listed under 'additional voices' inside voice Over settings. Removed the additional voice and now voices does not appear any more in my list of selected /visible rotor items. Thx much for the pointer..
