I have been using the 16 Pro since it was released in September, and have not experienced any of the issues you describe. I would suggest that you make sure VoiceOver Recognition is disabled, and only use it when necessary to access a 3rd party app.

My sincere apologies, but I am uncertain if my post to the whole group had been received yesterday. I wish to ask if you have any suggestions on my shocking situation with upgrade to iPhone 16Pro, and the systemic, and Voiceover disfunction I am encountering. Here's my dilemma: I just purchased an iPhone 16 Pro with a new service carrier. I am recognizing more that this phone has significant software/hardware interference or something that makes it very difficult to access and use at all, especially with Voiceover. 1. When the phone locks, I am not able to enter any characters into the password edit box. The "Swipe up to unlock" prompt is beside the password field. The only work-around is force-restarting. 2. Voiceover navigation frequently gets stuck on random controls, so navigating and performing any function short of closing the program and re-launch is not possible. 3. The status bar, with the new "dynamic island" is a monumental nuisance that intrusively interrupts any task and the flow of what I try doing. One notification in the middle of my work, and up pops the "dynamic island empty" message, and persistent, stuck status bar. This is compounded by the voiceover cursor never remaining in the same spot in 3rd party apps, if one navigates away from the entry app. 4. Related to this, when trying to dictate keyboard input for text messages or other input, the dynamic island and "Microphone in use" prompt seems to disable dictation, while trying to give some monitor of activity going on. This erratic behavior recurs even after I restart, force-update, or even do a full restore of the phone followed by ICLOUD backup restore. Has anyone experienced this? Thank you once again for your time and consideration. I am extremely disappointed having spent over 1000.00 financed of course for this phone. Should have left well-enough alone with my 13Pro, but cannot imaging this being the only state of the art right now. There's got to be a fix..

Songs view is the only one that works reliably now. Use that in combination with the column browser and filter field to get to what you want. It's an arse, but there we are. Apple broke it, just like they broke the command-option-arrow keystrokes. -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
