Hi Kelly, I know you have owned iPhones for some time, but you must not be doing the 3-finger triple tap which turns screen curtain on or off precisely enough. I assume when you say Voiceover gets turned off that it gets muted which happens after a 3-finger double tap. If you do two 3-finger taps and fail to do the third rather quickly you will mute Voiceover instead. Another 3-finger double tap will unmute it again and there are times when I want to turn screen curtain on or off and this also happens to me because maybe I don't do the gesture smartly enough. In this case I unmute Voiceover again and try the triple tap again.
I believe you can disable calling 911 with the side button, once again, you have to press it 5 times quickly whereas turning Voiceover on/off is a triple press. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Kelly Pierce Sent: December 5, 2021 3:00 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Screen curtin and VoiceOver I am a recent owner of an iPhone 13 Mini. I like the new screen because turning on the screen Curtin significantly reduces battery consumption. However, there’s a small problem. It seems there is a conflict between the gesture for screen Curtin and voiceOver. When I perform a three finger triple tap to turn on or off the screen Curtin, voiceOver gets turned off. Is there a way to reassign one of these gestures to something else? When I press the side button to turn on VoiceOver, I have ended up calling 911 twice. Please help me leave this quagmire.
