Why does my iPhone 11 Pro not scroll up and it's in text to speech?

I rarely can even go into the home screen because I did the ios 17 update, but it's stuck with a text to speech feature with a square surrounding the thing it's ready. Ex: I try pressing camera in lock screen and instead of going there directly, a white circle surrounds the camera icon and says "Camera, double tap to open" which confuses me a lot. Please help ASAP because I can't use my phone due to this bug.

It seems like that your iPhone is stuck in an accessibility modus called voice over.


Try this to turn voice over off


Important: VoiceOver changes the gestures you use to control iPhone. When VoiceOver is on, you must use VoiceOver gestures to operate iPhone.

To turn VoiceOver on or off, do any of the following:

Siri: Say something like: “Turn on VoiceOver” or “Turn off VoiceOver.” Learn how to use Siri.

Siri knows when VoiceOver is on and often reads more information back to you than appears on the screen. You can also use VoiceOver to read what Siri shows on the screen.


As your iPhone is stuck in voice over, you will need to use voice over gestures to get to the settings screen if Siri is not working these are:

  • Tap
  • Double tap
  • Triple tap
  • Swipe left, right, up, or down
