Do I presume you've always opened Contacts OK before? If so then maybe this won't help.

I havfe found on occasions, since IOS8, that it's been necessary to ensure I've actually been tapping on the button, rather than anywhere on the screen. Just tapping anywhere on the screen in these situations, after hearing the last item spoken which was the one that I'd wanted, just hasn't worked. It hasn't occurred with Contacts in my case and in fact I can't remember the last time I saw it now; but I do know it's not just been a case of hearing the last item as "Contacts" and double tapping the screen anywhere but actually finding the Contacts and positioning my finger on it to open.

You might want to give it a go.

I don't think it's a good work around myself and it shouldn't be necessary to position a finger on particular buttons to double tap them, but it sometimes is, so I live with it!

OK. I tried having Siri opening Contacts. It didn’t work. Then tried opening the Contacts myself…it didn’t work. Then, I handed the phone to my niece. She opened it without VoiceOver being on. So, I tried it again. And, it showed me to be an idiot to my 13 year old niece. It worked fine. You don’t know how many times I’ve tried opening Contacts. Shutting down the phone. Turning VoiceOver on and off. Going into the Settings. Nothing since upgrading. And, all of a sudden it works. Go figure!

Anyone experiencing trouble opening the Contacts app after upgrading to IOS 8.1.2? Had no problem opening Contacts using 8.1.1 but now it won’t open using VoiceOver. Strangely, it opens when a friend uses my phone without VoicOver.
