So, this is even before IOS 18, so, not sure if this goes in bug-tracker category.
Basically, sometimes, while swiping from top/bottom edges for doing those home/recents/notification/Control center gestures, with VO, sometimes it enters some entirely different mode, where things on screen visually are at completely different places, and, it makes a sound which I can only discribe as "Swoosh in", and, "Swoosh out". As in, 2 different sounds, 1 when device enters that weird mode, and 1 when it gets out.
Visually, once, while swiping down for notifications, I observed that the device made that Swoosh sound, and, visually brought that clock at the bottom of the screen. Once I lifted the finger, It quickly self-corrected, and, made that Swoosh sound again, and brought everything back to it's normal place.
May I know if anyone has observed this? What might be causing this? It's not frequent enough to cause me productivity loss, but the sound is a very unique. None of other VO Earcons match this Swoosh one.

reachability
This is reachability mode where your screen content will flip to the bottom.
Okay
Ironically, below this post, it suggested me another forum topic about Swoosh sound on iPhone 6s. I'll try to see if disabling reachability takes away this sound. Apologies if this ended up spamming the forum. I should have searched old topics.
How to Disable Reachability
Hi SeasonKing,
No apologies necessary. :) To disable Reachability, go to Settings> Accessibility> Physical and Motor heading> Touch> Reachability.
I feel like I've had this for years and years
But I could never 'get' it to do it. It was always an accident when it happened and there was never anyone around - I started thinking I was imagining it, like the Snuflupagus.
I actually requested a means…
I actually requested a means of the post searching former posts when we post in the feedback post...
Okay, let me try that again...
When typing a post, I'm thinking it could search the forum for similar posts to help us get to the information we need. I suggested this in the feedback pinned at the top.
Saying that, it's never a problem to revisit an issue as things may have changed. :)
I completely agree with both points.
away to search for older posts would be awesome and a post anyway link would be great!
Thank you all!
I was expecting some harsh words for this silly mistake, but I was surprised by the kind and understanding words from the community.
You guys rock!
Regardless, Note to self, always use search-box before posting anything to see if anything similar has been posted before.
