Re: Expand speaking bar on iPhone 16E

[Jennie Facer]

Hello, Go to Settings, accessibility, Read and Speak and turn speak screen off. We don't need as VoiceOver users. Hope this helps. If you are not using iOS 26, try Settings, accessibility, spoken content. It will be in there. It is called speak screen.
