All of the sudden, Siri started to speak up every time I press any Button on my I phone 12 pro; Whether it is the cancel button, volume or whatever. I also see a frame around the time and Siri also reads out loud the numbers. What's going on? On top of that, I can't turn off my phone with the power off slider. What's going on? Please help!
iPhone 12, iOS 18

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:
> Accessibility > VoiceOver, then turn VoiceOver on or off.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.

Try, "Siri, turn off voiceover."
You enabled an Accessibility feature; go to Settings/Accessibility and review the settings.
Limnus, thank you so much!
Indeed, I had to use the voice over gestures to unlock my iPhone. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to do it. Thus, I went to the Apple Store and the techs there showed me how to do it. I find this voice over gestures really complicated and tedious.
Thank you for all the links!
Hi Lawrence, Thank you for taking the time to reply to my question. The problem is that I'm stock on the opening act. I have no control over the phone. Thus, I can't go to settings. As I said, I double click on the right side button and the slider bar to power off, shows up, but I can't shut down. Any short cut to get there with the the side buttons?
Why is Siri reading out loud every button I press?
