Re: Product pages on Amazon VoiceOver continually announcing “Current Location”

[Malcolm Parfitt]

Hello Chela, Yes, I see what you’re saying, I did not have Toggle Live Regions and Announcements selected in my Rotor so that option was not available, you are right, now I’ve selected it it is an option there too. Thanks.

I did a test of that and it works on my end. I own an iPhone 14.

The issue:  When navigating products pages on Amazon VoiceOver continually announces “Current Location”. To resolve this, when you have a product page open on Amazon, perform a two finger quadruple tap to enter VoiceOver Quick Settings.  Scroll down until VoiceOver says “ Live Regions & Announcements (www.amazon.co.uk)”. Double tap to turn this off.  Navigate to Done and double tap. This should suppress this unwanted announcement.  It works for me on my iPhone 17 Pro Max. Hope this has helped someone.
