I experienced this behavior on my iPhone 7 even before updating to IOS 12. I have since upgraded to an iPhone 8 and installed IOS 12.0.1 and I still see this occasional unresponsiveness and/or acting like I’m stuck in the rotor with no speech. So this definitely isn’t an iPhone 7 issue. When that happens, killing the offending app in the app switcher and restarting it or shutting down and restarting VO usually helps. Needless to say, it’s a pain in the keester to have to do that. Very disruptive.
