Learn to master your iPhone using VoiceOver!
After a few high jinks, Junie and Brian show how to use the Phone and Messages apps using VoiceOver to effectively communicate.
February 2025, iOS 18
 
What You’ll Learn:
• How to navigate the Phone app using VoiceOver, including tabs like Favorites, Recents, Contacts, Keypad, and Voicemail.
• How to read, compose, and send text messages efficiently in the Messages app—with dictation, group chats, and a few hidden landmines.
• How to create and manage contacts, use Siri for quick communication, and access options like blocking or reporting spam calls.
 
Pro Tips Shared:
• Add frequent contacts to your Favorites tab so you’re not scrolling like a lost space probe every time you want to call Grandma.
• Use Siri for fast actions like “Call Mom” or “Message Jenny”—unless Jenny’s number is still 867-5309, in which case… good luck.
• Dictation is your best friend: two-finger double tap to start talking, again to stop, and send with one more swipe.
• Use the section index in Contacts for fast scrolling by letter—because flicking through 500 names just to find “Zelda” is a tragic misuse of TFlops.
