how to turn off talkback on lock screen

To turn off TalkBack on the lock screen of an Android device, you can try the following methods:

• Use the Volume Key Shortcut: Press and hold both the volume up and volume down keys simultaneously for about 3 seconds. You should hear a confirmation like "TalkBack off," indicating the feature has been disabled

• Use Google Assistant: If Google Assistant is set up, say "Hey Google, turn off TalkBack," and wait for confirmation that TalkBack is turned off

• Turn Off via Settings (requires unlocking the device):
  1. Unlock your device using your PIN, pattern, or password.
  2. Navigate to the Settings app (using two fingers to scroll and double-tap to select when TalkBack is on).
  3. Go to Accessibility > TalkBack.
  4. Toggle off TalkBack and confirm by selecting "Stop"

• Disable TalkBack Shortcut from Lock Screen (to prevent TalkBack activation on lock screen):
  For Android 11 and above:

  • Go to Settings > Accessibility > scroll to the bottom under "EXPERIMENTAL" and turn off "Shortcut from lock screen."
    For Android 10 and below:

  • Go to Settings > Accessibility > Volume key shortcut and turn off "Allow from lock screen"

When TalkBack is active, navigation requires special gestures: use two fingers to scroll, swipe left or right with one finger to move focus, and double-tap to select an item

. These methods should help you turn off TalkBack from the lock screen or prevent it from activating there. If one method does not work, try another as device models and Android versions may vary
