When VoiceOver is on, you must use VoiceOver gestures to operate iPhone. This consists of specific gestures such as taps, brushes, and swipes. Meaning you won’t be able to use your normal touches on the iPhone.


As such, first ask Siri to “Turn off Voiceover.” If that doesn’t work you can triple click the Side Button to turn Voiceover off.
