Just an aside, but I don’t find screen recognition or describe images useless. Lots of times it’s just interesting to see what sighted people see or what my phone looks like, but it’s also been helpful in a few situations. I agree that it’s nice it’s a toggle so people can turn it off, and I get that some people won’t like it, but I wouldn’t call it useless even if I didn’t use it.

Or, you got braille screen input on. I doubt it has to do with Voice Control; but who knows. I'm not sure what the chirping sound is but it sounds like something being eneabled or disabled. Best of luck.

Suddenly, as I was changing my display name in my Zoom app, a bizarre chirping noise sounded, followed several seconds later by the same sound. Seemingly simultaneously, I became unable to use dictation or the text field to change my name, even though it said “editing”. I tried in the Safari address bar. Same result. I rebooted the phone. Same thing. I called Apple. I was told to go to my Settings and restore settings. When it came time to put in my passcode . . . you guess it . . . the same thing happened, and I was unable to complete the restore. So off to my MacBook. (I luckily had a recent iCloud backup. I restored settings. Input all the needed information to get to the restore from backup process. All went smoothly. I put in a passcode. Tried using an edit field in messages and other places. Same weird sound, same inability to type, though at the moment dictation is working. However, this is obviously not sustainable. Please advise. I suspect this is a Genius Bar appointment, but I don’t even know if Apple is having people come to physical stores yet. Has anyone heard of this? Is there a fix? A workaround? Thanks.
