I am in Shortcuts, have Voiceover selected, no change. Have to go through all of that fall d'rall getting on and off, might call Apple Accessibility tomorrow to see if I can get it back.
Now, I have a bunch of stuff there and cancel, but no Voiceover, although it says it is selected. This is an unnecessary problem, so I hope I can find a solution and share, so that no one else willb e imposed on with all this other stuff. I went through; nothing is selected but Voiceover, same obnoxious problem.

It never does that on my phone, or anyone else's phone with whom I have worked. Unless, and this is important, you have more than one thing toggled on under acfessibility shortcut. Or, you have some kind of assistant turned on. If the accessibility shortcut is set to only VoiceOver, then it immediately turns it on or off.

Then to turn it back on, you have to double tap the bottom of the screen, which you can't hear Voiceover, then it comes back on. We tried it at the store. Better idea, like you say, is Siri, just hadn't thought of it, don't use Siri for a lot of commands.

Either tell Siri, turn VoiceOver off or on, whichever. Or, triple tap the side button, just like you did on the home button. Unless someone changed the default action. If triple tapping the side button isn't toggling VO on or off, checkk Settings, Accessibility, and at the bottom is the setting for what the Accessibility Shortcut does; the shortcut is the triple tap of the side button.

You do need to voice train Siri so if you missed this step, perhaps that is where your problem lies. Until this new phone, I have always had a home button so my current difficulty is learning the gesture to reach the home screen and the app switcher. I am also going to go through th Voiceover tutorial in Settings as it seems to be that Voiceover has some new features which sound very exciting.

I got a 16E last week and after transferring everything from my SE 2nd gen it looks and works just like the SE. I have no problems like you are experiencing at all. I do miss the home button but am already getting very used to the gestures instead. It sure works much snappier than the SE did. Good luck.

I'm still trying to work with getting Apple Intelligence on. The lady at Verizon is going to help me tomorrow. Even my sighted son can't get Hay Siri on. He likes to be driving and say, Siri, call Joe Blow or whoever. The lady at the store is going to help us tomorrow. I had no idea that 16, while still using 18.3, is so different than 14 was. He and I both had 14's; mine was a 14 Pro. So, to answer your question, I'd call Apple Accessibility at 877-204-3930. I had to call twice, because the first time, the connection was of such poor quality, that I simply could not understand the guy, and he did not screen share, kept trying to tell me what to do. The second time, I could understand the guy, and we did screen share. The problem for me was that in getting to Talk to Siri, Voiceover did not work through the prompts after saying say, Siri, what's the weather; it did not say for the second one, say Siri, send a message, but the Apple guy told me each time. Now that is in my phone. I was just surprised to find this many glitches.
