it's not my day, it really isn't! this is the second topic I've posted about an iPhone SE2020 problem today. So, in order to try and resolve the other problem I posted about (my voice being quiet when using the earpiece with phone calls) I tried restoring from an iCloud backup. Since doing so, when I restart the iPhone my Voiceover voice is Samantha. Turning off Voiceover and then turning it back on again restores it to what it should be (UK Siri female) so it isn't the end of the world but what on earth is going on here? any ideas? IOS15.2 by the way.
iOS and iPadOS

Hi all,
I just recently upgraded from the iPhone 12 Mini to the iPhone 15 Pro. I'm enjoying the upgrade so far. But I've noticed that if I power my phone off and then back on, VoiceOver will be off and I would either have to tripple-click the side button or press and hold the Action button. Is there any fix for this issue? My iPhone 12 Mini never did that. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thank you all in advance.

This particular Voiceover thing is driving me a little mad, and I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing this or if there is a fix I haven't found...

Hi all,
Wondering if anyone else has had similar issues.

VoiceOver went silent during my recent 9.3.1 update and the previous update too. I had to ask someone with vision to enter my password for me before VoiceOver began talking. Please can someone help me out in order not to suffer this ordeal the next time?

When on a FaceTime audio or video call, VoiceOver is unresponsive. It doesnt respond when I move my finger around the screen. When I press the home button, it makes the bleep sound but there is no speech. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, has anyone found any solutions?

Every time I switch to the Create tab to make a story, reel, or post, VoiceOver becomes unresponsive and cannot access the screen content. The only workaround is to enable screen recognition before tapping the Create tab, but that’s not ideal. This issue hasn’t been fixed for months. What’s the best way to send feedback?

I honestly don't know how long this has been an issue for me, at least a year but I think much longer. For awhile I assumed this was happening to everyone but now I'm curious if it's just me or not.

Hi. I'm using IOS 12, on my IPhone 6S+. When composing text messages, using Touch Typing mode, I hear the letter that my finger is on, but, when I lift my finger to insert the letter, Voiceover repeats the letter concerned. Is there a setting, whereby I can turn this off, in order to increase my productivity when texting? I hear the key click and that would be enough for me to know that the letter has been inserted. If this is possible, what settinghs do I need to change and where?

Hi,
How do you configure the synthesizer for a secondary language when Detect Languages is on? Currently I use Alex for English and when VoiceOver detects Spanish it switches to a female voice. I installed Siri Male Spanish and put it in the rotor instead, but cannot get VoiceOver's auto-switching to use it. What am I missing? Thanks.

Hi,
I updated my iPhone 5 last night to the latest IOS. When the phone restarted, the voice over voice sounded off. It's tinny and a bit garbled. I tried turning the compact voice feature on and off, and there's no significant difference. I'm running the enhanced voice feature as well. I tried using the other English voices, and they sound much better. Any ideas what I can do to fix this? Thank you.

Hello there. For a while now I have noticed that if I turn the VoiceOver voice down to 1 percent, some voices will go silent and others will still speak, but very quietly. For instance, if I have the VoiceOver volume at 1 and I use Samantha, the speech is muted. But if I'm using Alex and it's at volume 1, I can still hear him at the quietest level. Why is this happening and how can I recover speech, rather than trying to go into VoiceOver settings without knowing where I'm at? Thanks.

Hi.
I've noticed a strange bug on my phone (iPhone 14+ running IOS 26.1) where the volume keeps fluctuating. It happens randomly. Are there any fixes for this issue?
Post Date:
Does anyone else experience the issue where the VoiceOver volume dips if the phone is left idle, even for a short time? The initial output of speech is quieter and the volume rises back to the set level as the speech continues. It’s as if it autoducks after a while if the phone is doing nothing, locked or unlocked.
iOS 17, iPhone15.

The voiceover volume in iOS 18 can now be raised over 100%. I tried doing this in hopes that it would help with the longstanding issue of struggling to hear VO speach while on a call. It did seem to help with this, but I also noticed that VO now basically screams whenever I have an incomming call or notification. Is there any way to correct this? I had previously had VO volume set to about 60% in the rotor so that it didn't scream out my incomming caller ID.

It's been a while since I've heard about this bug so I wanted to revisit it since it's starting to really annoy me.
Anyone still having issues where voiceovers volume is still not restoring properly with audio ducking? Mine is slow to restore. I have an iPhone 8 running the lates version of ios 13.

Hello! I have problem with Voiceover on 5S. I can not up volume it just gos to 35 persent. Any suggestions?
Post Date:
My dad got an iPhone 5S yesterday. Everything was working fine for a while, but now he can't get his volume settings set the way he wants them. The VoiceOver volume control is only going up to 35% whereas on his old phone it would go up all the way to 100%. Try to increase volume beyond 35% and it just keeps saying 35%. He can get VoiceOver volume by raising the master volume with the buttons or Control Center, but then everything else is way too loud. Any thoughts?
Thanks.

I am having a problem where when adjusting the volume on my phone if I have music playing, Voiceover says high volume, or at the low end, voiceover will not speak, but it will say screne locked when the screene locks.
I have an I phone 4s, does anyone know why this could be happening? Its not a huge problem its just anoying, because when it says high volume, it says screene locked about 5 seconds later. A real downer when your training and listening to music.
thank you for any help.

Hello to all members using an iPhone 15 Pro Max running the latest version of iOS. I’ve been noticing that voice over is being louder than usual, it feels like it’s gonna break the speaker. I’ve been using different voices such as Tom read Alex and Samantha is anyone Else noticing this unexpected behavior? Thanks a lot for your help
