Accessibility dark screen

I’m working with the accessibility voice over. I haven’t had this problem previously. When I turn voice over in, the home screen is dark even when I push the home button. Black screen.

When I turn voice I’ve on, the home screen shows with the time and wallpaper.

I checked the brightness of the phone. It is up 100%.

Any trouble shooting you can help me?

iPhone SE, iOS 12

It sounds like the screen curtain feature has been turned on.


"To turn Screen Curtain on or off by gesture:

  1. Wake your device.
  2. With three fingers, quickly triple-tap the screen. If the Zoom feature is in use with VoiceOver, tap the screen four times with three fingers.
  3. If you use a bluetooth keyboard with your device, press Control-Option-Shift-S to turn Screen Curtain on or off. "
