Recent problems with voiceover on iOS (self.Blind)
submitted by gunfart
I have noticed that within the past two weeks or so, voiceover seems to have a mind of its own at times. For instance, when I open the BaconReader app and navigate to a post and a sub Reddit, normally voiceover it would focus on the first button on the new screen however lately it has been focusing on random parts of the screen such as a vote button , or even the first comment. Another example, when I tried to select another device on Spotify to play my music on, when I try to select another device voiceover once to revert back to the first option. It will not let me select anything, it just goes back to the first option. Same thing with Safari sometimes, if I open a link and voiceover is having its problems, I am not able to select the done button next to the address bar, voiceover wants to keep highlighting the address bar and will not let me select anything else.

This has only started happening within the past two weeks or so. I have updated iOS to the latest version, this was happening before and after updating. Has anyone else had this problem recently? It is making my phone useless in some aspects because I am unable to navigate through options properly.

Try resetting it, first restoring from a backup, and if that doesn't work, setting it up from scratch.
