Thank you Duane I would have never thought to look in there. I have looked in all kinds of other stuff. So thank you so much. Best,

Terri

It was driving me nuts. But, if you go into Settings, select Display & Brightness and toggle the "Raise to Wake" button to off that should resolve it for you. I believe this is an IOS 11 setting. My iPhone 5 was running IOS 10.3 but my SE is running IOS 11. When I switched "Raise to Wake" to off the problem went away. I have to say this setting was not in an immediately obvious place to find. This setting would only seem to be useful if your phone is remaining stationary for a length of time, such as when one is sitting at a desk. It's absolutely useless if one is in motion with your phone in a pocket or bag.

On my iPhone 5 one may access the Notification Center by swiping down with three fingers from the top of the screen. You did not describe what your phone was actually saying, but perhaps you can cut down on the number of announcements your phone makes, such as when you receive a message or a new podcast is available.

>>> I have an iPhone 8 8+ and I can’t stop it from talking all the time in my purse when I walk here or there or if I set my purse down. I’ve been looking around in the settings and cannot figure out how to stop this. Is there a option to set the screen to only be activated with the press of the home button? Or a specific gesture? And otherwise it’s not activated? My iPhone 6 did not do this at all, but that is probably because it was in a wallet style case. Thoughts suggestions?
