    Can I turn it off permanently? Why does it outline the date then the camera icons after unlocking? Can I turn that off too?

    I believe the outline you are referring to is the VoiceOver cursor. You cannot disable the screen curtain permanently if VoiceOver is on. If you do not need VoiceOver you can turn that off permanently by going to settings>general>accessibility>VoiceOver off. -AJ

     

    Edit: Just saw your second post. You can ask Siri to turn off VoiceOver. If you don't have Siri you need to double/triple tap everything you want to activate. The first time your finger is over the item it will read the item aloud and then you double tap to activate. You also use three fingers to scroll.

    Well, imagine that the "> slide to unlocked" is outlined. Tapping twice, three times, sliding; nothing works. Cannot open phone, but did open "the curtain".

    Ask Siri to "Turn Voiceover Off"

    When you hear "unlock button" double tap. You should then get the passcode field. Similarly, each number will be announced and then will also need to be double tapped. If it still won't unlock for you you can use iTunes. The directions are for zoom, but the same process applies for VoiceOver.  iOS: Home screen icons are magnified or large - Apple Support

    Yes, but when I tap the unlock button twice, Seri says "UNLOCK UNLOCK BUTTON" and nothing happens. I still have an outline around ">slide to unlock".

    Have you tried asking Siri to turn off VoiceOver?

    I have arrived at the icons and tapped the outlined "Settings" twice. Siri says "Settings Settings". When I say, "Seri, Voice Over off." nothing happens. Now I am back to the home screen & am trying to tap twice to unlock. Seri says "unlock unlock button".

    You have to tap each selection 3 times. So, on the Home Screen, tap Settings 3 times, then tap General 3 times, then Accessibility 3 times, then the VoiceOver On/Off button 3 times.

     

    When you asked Siri to turn VoiceOver off, had you initiated a Siri conversation? Not talking about the voice that describes each thing you are doing - that is not Siri - that is VoiceOver. To talk to Siri, you have to hold the Home button down until she asks how she can help you. That is when you ask her to Turn VoiceOver Off.

     

    But the triple-tap instructions will result in the same thing - turning off VoiceOver.

     

    Cheers,

    You should be able to hold down the home button and ask Siri to turn of Voiceover. Siri should not be affected by VoiceOver.

    No response from Seri when I say "Seri, Voice-Over off". Still on home screen with "> slide to unlock" outlined & Seri says "unlock unlock button" when I tap it  twice.

    As gail from maine  said the voice reading the items aloud is not Siri. The voice you are hearing is VoiceOver. Keep your home button held down until the Siri screen comes up that says "what can I help you with?"  at that point say "turn VoiceOver off." -AJ
