Hi all,
I have an iPhone 13 mini using IOS 26.2. The problem I have is this. When I connect to any interactive voice response system, voice over becomes inconsistant. I can sometimes swipe to the digits to enter them at other times, I lose speech and can do nothing with the phone. The only way to get speech back is to disconnect the call or sometimes, if I take the phone away from my face and move it around, I get speech back. It is really hard to say what will bring speech back.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is this an iPhone 13 problem or is it user error?

I have an iPod Touch 5th Generation and I am running iOS 8.02. I have the Accessibility shortcut of triple tapping the Home button to turn Voiceover on and off. Ever since loading iOS 8, there are times when I will hit Home once and I get the message "Voiceover off." If I triple tap Home again, it usually comes back on. Also, it sounds as if Voiceover turns on and off as some apps are loaded. I will hear "Voiceover off" the app will load and I will hear "Voiceover on."

Hello all,
A couple of days ago, I found a new VoiceOver shortcut on iOS called: "move to related content". This command can be executed by performing two fingers flick right or by pressing VO + j on a Bluetooth keyboard. I've tried this out on a couple of different screens: Home screen, Safari, Mail, Etc., however it doesn't seem to work.
Does any body know the use of this new VoiceOver action and how it should be used?
Thanks in advance and best regards,
Alexandre Bellemare

Hi all,
When I plug my phone into my dad's car to charge, VoiceOver (and all sounds) mute themselves. I get this is supposed to happen, but I was wondering if there's a way on the phone itself to override the car and play sound through the phone's speakers. I've seen some posts on other sites that recommend plugging headphones in, but my recollection is that the same thing happens with any Bluetooth headphones you might be using. It would be nice if you didn't have to do something with the car to override this. This car ony has one port.

Hello,
so the other day while playing around on my IPhone, I've discovered 4 interesting VoiceOver gestures which are not mentioned anywhere, not assignable in VoiceOver's settings and also don't seem to work correctly. It is a shame, because they look potentially interesting. I was wondering if anybody ever remembers using them and if they worked correctly in the past / had a more meaningful purpose?

Hello all,
Has anyone noticed that in iOS6 VoiceOver navigation tends to slow down in certain audio apps, like Korg' iKaosilator , Spotify and others? This is particularly noticeable on iPhone and iPods, not so much on the iPad.
I am sure this is a VoiceOver issue, otherwise, the whole web would be screaming about it.
Anybody else?
Thanks,
Victor

It appears that VoiceOver has randomly stopped giving me image descriptions. Disabling and enabling it didn’t fix the problem. Please help.

IOS 9 and 10 clearly read the tempreture forecast on the BBC Weather APP but IOS 11 does not! It reads the word temp but not the figures. Very strange as it reads everything else! Rod

Ever since getting my iPhone 16 Pro and transferring everything over from my old SE 3, VoiceOver has stopped speaking when in a phone call, won't speak when focusing on incoming call info, and won't even speak when focusing on all of the buttons in the power screen after squeezing the power button and volume up buttons together.

I just updated to iOS 11 and am running an iPhone 6S. Since the update, VoiceOver does not always announce my notifications, whether the device is locked or unlocked. I have it set to show previews always in the notification center. Once, when I rebooted the phone and it restarted, it did announce notifications for awhile but then stopped again. I was wondering if this is a bug or if anyone else has experienced this issue or if there is another setting that I need to change. Thanks.

In the latest IOS18.3.2... When I swipe up to app switcher and there are no apps open, my iPhone 16E just vibrates. It does not say "app switcher has no items" anymore. Is this a bug? Also, when I unlock my phone, it just vibrates. It used to play an unlock sound that kind of sounded like a camera plunk sound, but different. Is there a way I can get this sound back? My phone is not on mute or silent, the mute switch is turned off in control center.

I have noticed since installing iOS 8.3 that voiceOver does not announce on/off labels. For example, it does not say "Share my location, on or off," in iCloud. This is frustrating as I need to know whether something is on or off. This applies elsewhere as well.

Website previews in Facebook posts are not being announced by voiceover as of of the past several weeks. This is true whether you are in the newsfeed itself or if you double tap to open the post to interact with it. You will hear the name of the Facebook user or page, The date of the post and the summary or caption they’ve typed as part of the post, but if they’ve included a link to a website, this is not announced at all.

Hello, I am having a problem with my I phone 6 which I receieved at the end of last month, the keypad doesn't make a tone when I dial phone numbers, I have done everything that Apple United Kingdom have advised me to do, but it still doesn't work. is their something wrong with the device or do I need to go in to an apple store to get this sorted? I did go in to an apple store, but the member of staff didn't have a clue as to what the problem was.
I would be grateful, if someone can get back to me.
Yours Faithfully,

I have used Microsoft outlook calendar for sometime but recently, neither of my iPhone SE phones will let me navigate around Outlook calendar.
I was wondering if it’s specific to this phone or is the app no longer accessible?

Just checking to see if anyone has noticed a weird bug with whatsapp. When trying to use the slide up to lock voice recording, voiceover used to read the buttons that appear like pause recording, send, cancel etc. Now when I lock a voice recording, the send button will be visible for a few seconds but will then disappear. Voiceover can only navigate around in the message thread but you are then locked in the recording mode and can't cancel, pause or send the recording. Voiceover seems to think those buttons are gone.
