Hi Dennis, Most of the time I am using my Apple airPods, with the same result as when I don’t use them. Sometimes calls are announced and sometimes they aren’t. As I said earlier, VO acts like it is going to read but then doesn’t. Sometimes when I silence the ringer by pressing one of the volume buttons, I can swipe and get the information, but most of the time when I swipe nothing happens, so even when I attempt to check the screen, VO doesn’t say anything. All was so very well before IOS14. 😔😕
I have even tried different ringtones lol. Not sure what would happen if I had no ringtone set but I’m afraid I wouldn’t hear the phone ring if I didn’t have the airPods in. Thanks for the suggestion though. Sent from my iPhone > On Jan 16, 2021, at 1:23 AM, Dennis Long <[email protected]> wrote: > > Ann are you using headphones?
