My iPhone is stuck on voice over. When I triple click on the home button the font is enlarged. Help, thanks in advance!

You should only have to tap once on a menu item to select it (VoiceOver will announce the name of the selected item), the double-tap the item to open it. Also, to scroll the screen you must use three fingers.


If your phone is now frozen and unresponsive, reset it by holding the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignore the off slider that appears first), then release. You won't risk losing any data by doing this.

One more thing. If you don't hear a voice announcing the name of items as you tap them on the screen, and everything on the screen looks magnified, you may have Zoom turned on rather than VoiceOver. (You can't have Zoom and VoiceOver turned on at the same time.) If Zoom is on, double-tap the screen with three fingers to change the zoom (such as to zoom out), and scroll the screen with three fingers. Then go to Settings>General>Accessibility>Zoom to turn it off.

I too was stuck on voice over and could'nt scroll down to the Accesssibility choice. the three finger flick didn't work for me, but I discovered that after you get in General Settings, to scroll you must select something other than "General" at the top of the screen. If you select something else on that screen by tapping it, you can then scroll. Hope this helps!
