What causes a blue highlight box to jump around the screen with an audible click?

Today my iphone 5 started having a blue highlight box appear on every screen, jumping from one icon or set of icons to another with an audible click. My iOS is up to date and I first noticed this after receiving a text message (text only, no attachments).

iPhone 5, iOS 7.0.4

Hello paul-j


From what you are describing, it sounds like you have VoiceOver turned on and you would need to turn it off. Check out the article below to understand more about Accessibility and links to more about the feature.
