Hi, I’m not sure if you can stop it. I believe that it has to do with the “Describe Images” feature in iOS and iPadOS. Some parts of this appears to have the ability to be turned off, but I’ve found that it still seems to announce some of the descriptions of what we hear as labelled buttons or links no matter what. Lots of things that are announced to us are simply icons or actionable images to folks in the sighted world, so VO is seemingly telling us info about what it is focused on.
