I have had this happen on an IPhone 6s and on my IPhone 8. Try telling Siri to turn voiceover off, then tell her to turn it on. This usually works immediately. This issue has only surfaced for me with IOS 11 and now with the beta of IOS 12.

Not sure if it is related, but I have had times when Voiceover goes
unresponsive on my IPhone 7.  I hear clicks when I swipe around, but
no voice feedback.  To fix it I use the triple-press of the home
button to toggle Voiceover on and off.  It takes several times of
this, usually 4 or five, but Voiceover comes back on eventually.

Subject: my iPhone 6 is moribund



My primary purpose in writing this post is to inquire whether it is possible
for Apple to remotely check the status of my iPhone 6 which is running IOS
11.4.1.

 No one is around to check the screen, and I can't unlock the phone since
there is no audible feedback. Will try later today by connecting to iTunes.



Symptoms are as follows: Voiceover does not speak even though I asked Siri
to turn it on. When I press the home button, I feel the vibration but hear
no ding. I cannot make outgoing phone calls; however, if I call my iPhone, I hear the chime and voiceover announces the name of the caller which is in my
contact list. So I know it is not a volume issue. The phone continues to
ring even though I use a two finger double tap on the screen. Is the speech
toggle a three finger double tap?



Thanks for feedback.



Don Roberts
