How do I turn off “Voice Over” mode on Apple Watch? A voice keeps speaking every time I tap somewhere and it’s annoying!

My AppleWatch will randomly start voicing everything that I tap even though I didn’t change the settings. Maybe I accidentally activated the voice over mode but how did I do that and how do I make it stop? I used my iPhone settings to change the Apple Watch’s accessibility but it doesn’t work. Isn’t there something else I can do that can inactivate the mode? Like some secret button pressing?

iPhone 13, iOS 16

Just found different ways to turn off VoiceOver:


  1. Quickly press down the Digital Crown (the round button) on your Apple Watch 3 times in a row. You will hear "VoiceOver Off".
  2. Open the Settings app on your Apple Watch: Go to Accessibility > VoiceOver, then turn off VoiceOver.
  3. Tell Siri: “Turn VoiceOver off”.
  4. Demolish AppleWatch with a bulldozer. Warning: That will permanently turn off AppleWatch's VoiceOver feature.
