I am blind and use voiceover on my iPhone SE. Since downloading iOS 16.1 whenever I am using the dictation button my music automatically starts playing. It's so annoying. Does anyone know how I can separate the music from the dictation button.
iPhone SE, iOS 16
Hi Dogguideguy24,
There's no reason or setting that would cause the dictation button on the keyboard to play music. Is this being triggered by some type of 3rd party hardware?
In the meantime, here is an article on using dictation on your iPhone: Dictate text on iPhone - Apple Support
"Dictate text
on the onscreen keyboard or in any text field where it appears (as in Messages, for example). Then speak., make sure Dictation is turned on. Go to Settings 
> General > Keyboard, then turn on Enable Dictation. > General > Keyboard, then turning off Auto-Punctuation.

Hello Dogguideguy24,
Thank you for the follow-up. Given the obstacle you're facing, it might be a good idea to work with Apple's Accessibility experts. They may know of a solution to help with the issue you're facing. You can contact them directly at Accessibility Support.
Best wishes.
Well when you are blind and you are using voiceover double tapping is how you navigate. When I double tap the screen it pauses and unpause my music so when I am using the dictation button because I am double tapping do use the dictation button it's also turning on my music and unpause it. It's only ever since I download the new iOS 16.1. It never did this before. I use the dictation all of the time instead of texting or using the keyboard because I'm blind it's quicker and easier but now because you double tap to dictate the double tapping it's causing the music to play.
