Voiceover needs to get used to it.When VoiceOver is valid, the operability of the iPhone changes completely, such as replacing the tap with a double tap.Even if you try to open the item and open it, the text will only be read out, and the screen will not open as expected.The scrolling of the screen does not work with one finger, and three fingers are three.

It is a hard time to turn off the function.When you just start using VoiceOver, it may be difficult to open the "Settings" app.In the case of an iPhone X without a home button, there is a high possibility that it will not be able to proceed first when the lock screen is released.

In such a case, rely on Siri.If you call "Hey, Siri" or press the sleep button/side button to launch Siri, and order "turn off Voiceover".Now you don't have to struggle to move to the accessibility screen of "Settings".
