How to Turn Off Spoken Directions on Apple Maps
Are you finding the spoken directions on Apple Maps to be more of a distraction than a help? Perhaps you’re in a quiet environment or simply prefer to follow directions visually. Whatever the reason, turning off spoken directions on Apple Maps is a straightforward process. In this article, we’ll guide you through the steps to disable this feature and regain control over your navigation experience.
Step 1: Open Apple Maps
To begin, launch the Apple Maps app on your iPhone or iPad. This app is typically pre-installed on all Apple devices and can be found on your home screen.
Step 2: Access the Route Information
Once Apple Maps is open, navigate to the location you wish to travel to. You can do this by typing in the address or selecting a point of interest from the search bar. Once you have set your destination, tap on the route information button, which is represented by a small “i” icon located to the right of the destination name.
Step 3: Disable Spoken Directions
After tapping on the route information button, you will see a list of options, including “Route Summary,” “Traffic,” “Departure Time,” and “Spoken Directions.” To turn off spoken directions, simply toggle the switch next to “Spoken Directions” to the off position. The switch will change from green to white, indicating that the feature is disabled.
Step 4: Confirm the Change
Once you have disabled spoken directions, you can confirm the change by looking at the switch. If it remains in the off position, you have successfully turned off spoken directions on Apple Maps.
Additional Tips
– If you want to re-enable spoken directions at a later time, simply follow the same steps and toggle the switch back to the on position.
– To ensure that spoken directions are disabled for all routes, you can also go to the Apple Maps settings. To do this, tap on the “Settings” app, then scroll down and tap on “Maps.” Under the “Navigation” section, you will find the “Spoken Directions” option. Toggle this switch to the off position to disable spoken directions for all routes.
By following these simple steps, you can easily turn off spoken directions on Apple Maps and tailor your navigation experience to your preferences. Whether you’re in a quiet setting or simply prefer to follow directions visually, you now have the control to do so.
