Re: "After I had activated voice control and my screen got locked"


Sorry I'm no expert on using Voice Control ...

Wondering if you can activate listening on your iPhone by saying "Wake up" to Siri,

and then "Hey Siri, turn on Voice Control" to wake your device.


Eg: Apple Support's online article: Use Voice Control on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

says:

  • "To turn Voice Control on or off after the initial setup, you can use "Hey Siri," the Accessibility Shortcut, or go to Settings, select Accessibility, then select Voice Control.
  • To lock your device, say "Lock screen."
  • To wake your device, say "Hey Siri, turn on Voice Control."
  • To activate listening, you can say "Go to sleep" or "Wake up." The listening feature doesn't turn off, but puts the microphone to sleep until you wake your device with a command."


If needed: There is more Voice Control info in that linked article above.

Wondering if you have forgotten your iPhone passcode ?


If you see an iPhone or iPad unavailable message or Security Lockout screen

If you have iOS 15.2 or higher:
