I haven’t even had this phone a year, so I wouldn’t think the battery wearing out should be an issue on my end. I have tended to switch voices on a more constant basis lately though, sense I’ve had a hard time finding one I’m satisfied with, or if I find one that I’m at least somewhat

I have had issues with my iPhone 6 where I get this kind of behavior. Usually the phone also acts very slow. I will do a triple click home wait 2 seconds and repeat until VoiceOver starts up again. Then I will shutdown the phone and restart it at a convenient moment. Generally I find that the

Have you tried double tapping with two fingers, to toggle speech? If this doesn’t work, then hold down the power button and, I believe, the volume up buttons for ten seconds. Then, release the volume key, while still holding the power button. I really wish Siri could be used to restart devices,

Sudden voiceover issue with iPhone 7+

I just started noticing the day before, then right after upgrading to the latest fermware, that for no apparent reason, voiceover would still be active, but would mysteriously stop speaking, even after disabling and relaunching. I’ve tried a soft reset which if I remember correctly, you’re
