I'm guessing you mean VoiceOver? You can't permanently disable it but you can turn off the shortcut that's probably what's turning it on.


Settings>Accessibility>Accessibility Shortcut (all the way at the bottom) and uncheck anything that's checked.


If VoiceOver is accidentally turned on you can always tell Siri to turn it off, "Hey, Siri, turn off VoiceControl".
