So, would you complain if it wasn't spoken at all? I'd bet you would. Isn't
it a good thing that we get caller ID at all? I mean? Seriously?

Hi,
How exactly do you think you are being constructive here?
On the same register as your message, don't you think sighted people would have
an issue if their caller ID were flashed on a billboard for everyone to see
every time they get a call?
It goes without saying that it is great we have
Hi,
if your in a important meeting, wouldn't you want everything off? Not just

Hello,
Although I don't find the option to turn off the announcement of caller ID of
high priority, I do realize that some might. Sure, having caller ID announced
is good, but I don't look at it like Apple has done us a great favor by adding
it, and those who think it can be implemented
Wouldn't Do not Disturb turn everything else off accept for when someone was
calling? Or you could flip up the Mute switch.

Seriously?
I don't think most sighted people that you come in contact with can even
understand voiceover nor do they even care who is calling you. Again, at
least we have the ability to have caller ID unlike when cell phones first
came out. What if you have a home phone line a talking caller

Hi list,
I remember reporting this a while ago to Apple Accessibility… To no avail.
VoiceOver users have an unavoidable privacy issue: the automatic announcement
of the caller ID of an incoming call.
It should be possible to make this optional, with the ability to manually
interrogate the

announce it to any extent that anyone would be able to hear it that
you don't want to hear it? Maybe do the 3 finger double tap to mute
speech when not in use and then just quickly unmute it with the same
command when you want to
Hi,
Not to sound discouraging but, I honestly don't know how many really share this
concern. I'm not so sure it's unavoidable either. One could mute speech with
a 3 finger double tap when not in use or, turn Voiceover off all together with
a 3 triple press of home, and turn either back on
Friend,
Thanks for your prompt input.
The fact is that if you wish VO to speak lower on incoming calls, you must
lower the volume of the ringer alert.
Otherwise turning down the volume of VO is not extremely practical since there
are too many cases where you need the volume back at a normal
One thing to do is mute the phone. When speak notifications on lock screen is
disabled, and when the phone is musted with the mute switch, vo says nothing at
all unless you touch the screen, just as you are wanting. Personally, I have my
speech rate at 100% and the vast majority of my callers
Frankly, I don't know I'd totally get rid of the option to read caller ID,
however, I do wonder how hard it would be to make it where VO doesn't
automatically read. In other words, have it do like now where it pops up, yes,
but you would have to intentionally flick to it to read the thing.
I have to agree.
One of my friends used to be married to a lady who I remained friends with
after their divorce. This jack A kept stalking her even after they divorced.
He'd do anything he could to get her number and call/harass her. So at that
time, I didn't have an IPhone, but had I, it

Ouch! I didn't realize it did that, but then, I hardly ever use a headset. Is
this also an issue with bluetooth headsets, or only with wired.

Personal preferences it sounds like. Some of us wouldn't find it a big
deal to mute VO when locking the phone in a situation where it could
ring where we were so concerned about someone knowing who is calling.
As was mentioned, I don't think many of us really share this concern.
Personally I don't

I like Caller ID, I.E. someone being announced although I wish it didn't do it
on loud speaker when the I phone headset was plugged in. However, I'd like the
choice of having the announcement muted especially if you were in an important
meeting as others have stated.

The reason this particular issue doesn't concern me overly much is this. Most
people who aren't used to the iPhone speech won't understand the number anyway.
And, besides, I no longer receive covert calls from CIA operatives, so I
believe my information is relatively safe.
You can have an off
I have to agree. I have been in many situations in which sighted people
had no idea what VoiceOver was saying because the announcement also comes with
the ring tone.
So they stopped calling you, Rich. I guess that's why they have been
calling me of late .

There is a way around anything being announced when in a meeting and
such. It is the do not disturb feature. It is in the top level of the
menus. I guess unless one for some reason wants it to ring out loud in
the meeting, but not announce who it is. I guess then you might be
harder pressed for a
