Voice control won’t turn off - IPhone 13pro OS 16.3 Despite turning off Voice control in every setting, it’s menu keeps popping up on my screen. I’ve done everything in all Apple’s suggestions and it still comes up. For a phone that was over £1,300 in the U.K. this is simply not good enough. Please advise. I have no interest at all ever, in using voice control or Siri and wish it could be deleted from the phone.

My iPhone is talking to me…can’t shut it off! All of a sudden, my iPhone started reading everything on webpages or anything on the screen. I cannot get it to stop. I did a search on the Internet, and the articles I found mention Voiceover, so I went to the settings on my phone… VoiceOver is turned off. I even turned VoiceOver on, then turned it off again. The only articles I can find talk about older iPhones with a home button and pressing the home button three times, but I have a 12 Pro Max, and there is no home button. How do I get my phone to stop talking to me? How did I turn this on in the first place? It is driving me nuts.

Speak Screen not working from Back Tap On my iPhone 15 pro (and previous 12 pro), the Speak Screen no longer works from the double or triple back tap. It seems to have happened within the past few weeks. The Speak Screen works when I use two fingers to swipe down, highlight text and Speak, and from the Accessibility Shortcut. All other actions like Flashlight, Lock Screen etc seem to work fine from the double/triple back tap. is there maybe a setting I changed that would’ve affected this? Very annoying. iOS 17.4.1 I can use the Accessibility Shortcut for triple tap then Speak Screen but why? Thx.

Wondering if you tried asking Siri to close Speak Selection, or go to the home screen

If your iPhone is not responding as expected, you can always try restarting it:
