The VoiceOver is turned on and I can't turn it off. I tried to triple-click home to turn it off but it does not work. At first I could not select settings. It tells me what it is and to double click it to open it but it does not open. Finally, I'm in settings now and when I select general it does not give me to topics to turn it off. Any suggestions to resolve my problem?
iPhone 4S

What a pain! Why would this feature be so difficult to disable? And if your phone locks, Voice Over reads your unlock code ALOUD! Really?
Think of what a pain it would be if you couldn't see. How else would a blind user know what they entered? And it's not at all difficult to disable. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5018. But why did you enable it in the first place?
Must be different based on your version...I had to go to System Preferences, Universal Access, click the Voice Over off radio button.
Its an awesome tool for those disabled!
The easiest way to shut Voice Over on iPhone was by using Siri Just hold the Home button until Siri comes up and say “Voice Over off”. That’s it! I do agree that this feature is very annoying for the people not using it and it should have an option to disable it permanently.
There IS an option to disable it permanently. Settings/General/Accessibility - VoiceOver - OFF.
Lawrence, it does not disables permanently: as soon as you accidently click three times the Home button, it turns on again.
It doesn't on my iPhone 5S. Of course, I have never "accidently" clicked 3 times, but I've tried it multiple times just now, and it just opens the Quick Launch ribbon, then closes it. It never turns on VoiceOver.
Hmmmm... I also have 5s and I though and was clicking only 2 times. I've just said "3 times accidently" because I don't know how to explain this glich. I thought it's just me... I guess there are more people experiencing the same problem.
hello dear,really u r well said ,because of u , i got rid of that tricky voice-over,thanks a lot,keep smiling,because u r geneious
You're an angel for this suggestion/fix! My sister had turned this on and had me try to turn it off. It would turn off for a second but would immediately turn on again. We almost lost an ipad through this process
Thank you!! Thank you!! That was terrible experience.
Do you know how to get the voiceover thing off and take remove it so i can get into my iphone because i can access anything without having the voiceover all on my phone so it is not allowing me to access anything else. Please Help and support my questions.... And i am trying my best to get everything straight and let me back into my cell phone so i can get the voice over all off it. Please help with your assistance with this.I'm trying to get back into it.
Thanks for your support with this.
Thanks Monica Jones-Logan
i tried all the tricks also i reached voiceover screen but when i slide the voiceover to off position it automatically gets on i dont understand a logical reason for this provision no one who used showed us that there is such a waste provision. other wise i would not have purchased this set
Be thankful you are not blind or vision-impared.
Sorry and thank you for making understand I really feel guilty
On my iPad I can use Siri to turn VoiceOver off. Just say "Turn VoiceOver off."
How to turn off VoiceOver?
