Not an Edge Case

I turned VoiceOver back on and my phone told me something about myself.

“Touch accommodations are inactive while VoiceOver is on.”

I’d set up touch accommodations a few days before. I wondered why my phone didn’t feel any different. Then I turned VoiceOver off for a minute to show my mom something. When I turned it back on, that’s what it said. One accessibility feature turns the other off. As if the person who needs VoiceOver and the person who needs touch accommodations can’t be the same person.
