Hey all:
am using Iphone 17 with latest IOs 26.1
each time i have a call and am putting the phone on my ear, i got the eliment labeling sound, and i should use flec up to go out from this thing,
also some times the braille screen worked, i do not know why,
something related to sensor or a setting inside my phone that i should toggle?
Very annoying really

Delay before Selection
It sounds like your touch sensitivity is a little, too, sensitive. Try the following, and see how things work:
1. Go to Settings, Accessibility, VoiceOver.
2. Toward the very bottom of the screen, look for a setting titled, "Delay before Selection".
3. Increase the number to something like .5 S or higher.
4. Try making a phone call, putting your phone up to your ear, and see how things go.
Since you're hearing both the labeling sound, and braille screen input activating, it sounds like something is happening causing the equivalent of a two finger touch gesture to activate on your screen. Lowering the sensitivity might resolve this.
Best of luck!
I've Seen This
I have seen this both in iOS 18 and iOS 26. The best thing I can think of is that at times, VoiceOver is interpreting my bringing the device and holding it on my face as a two-finger double-tap-and-hold.
I'm wondering if this is exclusive to larger devices?
Is this only happening with the pro max and/or plus models? Or does this happen regardless of device dimensions?
Just a thought.
the smallest here
I have the smallest 17 here, and it is happening
delay before selection
I did this, THanks
It solved the issue some how.
but my typing is slower now.
Re: typing
Go to Settings, Accessibility, VoiceOver, Typing.
At the bottom there will be a setting for "Keyboard Interaction Time".
Lower that to a smaller number, to fix your typing speed. :-)
no help
I did but with no help
so, i set my delay for selection to 0 as it was
Only thing I can offer you is advice
It sounds like the proximity sensor is not really working as intended. My advice would be next time you're on a phone call, make sure the speaker touches your ear, but nothing else touches your head or face. In other words, angle your device so it's slightly off of your skin. This way, hopefully, you will not activate the label Gesture, or braille screen input.
HTH.
