iPhone5 turn off "screen curtain"

You have to tap each selection 3 times. So, on the Home Screen, tap Settings 3 times, then tap General 3 times, then Accessibility 3 times, then the VoiceOver On/Off button 3 times.

When you asked Siri to turn VoiceOver off, had you initiated a Siri conversation? Not talking about the voice that describes each thing you are doing - that is not Siri - that is VoiceOver. To talk to Siri, you have to hold the Home button down until she asks how she can help you. That is when you ask her to Turn VoiceOver Off.

But the triple-tap instructions will result in the same thing - turning off VoiceOver.

No response from Seri when I say "Seri, Voice-Over off". Still on home screen with "> slide to unlock" outlined & Seri says "unlock unlock button" when I tap it twice.

As gail from maine said the voice reading the items aloud is not Siri. The voice you are hearing is VoiceOver. Keep your home button held down until the Siri screen comes up that says "what can I help you with?" at that point say "turn VoiceOver off." -AJ

Triple tap with three fingers. -AJ

Ask Siri to "Turn Voiceover Off"

You should be able to hold down the home button and ask Siri to turn of Voiceover. Siri should not be affected by VoiceOver.

Have you tried asking Siri to turn off VoiceOver?

When you hear "unlock button" double tap. You should then get the passcode field. Similarly, each number will be announced and then will also need to be double tapped. If it still won't unlock for you you can use iTunes. The directions are for zoom, but the same process applies for VoiceOver. iOS: Home screen icons are magnified or large - Apple Support

You are welcome. Is VoiceOver off now?-AJ
