[NJAGDU] Can't answer phone

[Ann Leikauf]

Hi, Tracey,
Sorry to disturb, & realize your email was sent to wrong list, but
wondering about iphone.

I'm totally blind & have been using a droid using talkBack for decades.
However, since its last update, talkBack & google assistant keep turning
off. So I just got an iphone 16e. Are you familiar with this? Have you had
many problems with either Siri or Voice Over turning off unexpectedly or
not starting up at all? I'm going crazy here! Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
Best regards,
Annie
