Hello, I haven't noticed that, but I have noticed VO sometimes does a read all for no apparent reason, certainly when I didn't ask it to. E.g. You're responding to an email. You stop, an IMessage comes in. That iMessage will send it off for a read all. Anyone noticed? And nope, I can't recall t

Walter, yes, that's the best way to explain it. I tried doing a gesture that looks like a print Z because that's how the two finger scrub was always explained, but I could never do it. I usually use two fingers as if I were going to stop/start playing audio and touch the screen about 3 quarters
