Text to Speech Crashes any app I use it on

I have enabled the text to speech option in my accessibility settings under spoken content. It worked once, but now every time I attempt to activate it, the app i'm using will crash. This has happened on chrome, in photos, in notes, etc.

iPhone 16 Pro Max, iOS 18

Wondering whether you have tried re-starting your iPhone

(ie: deletes temporary files, re-establishes connections, may update recent setting changes, and often restores order if something is not working as expected.


Also: wondering which iOS version is installed on your iPhone: Eg: About iOS 18 Updates - Apple Support

says:iOS 18.3.1 is the newest version and

"This update provides important bug fixes and security updates and is recommended for all users".

You can try checking for updates in Settings > General > Software Updates.

NB: Please remember: Before updating it is wise to back-up your iPhone
