I’m unable to delete a large chunk of my saved phrases for the Live Speech Accessibility feature. I’ve deleted all categories and recent phrases, but all of the phrases I had saved pre-iOS 18 cannot be deleted. Has anyone else found this issue or how to fix it?
iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 18
Re: "Live Speech Save Phrases Error or how to fix it ?"
If you haven't already:
Wondering if updating your iOS version to the recently released iOS 18.1 version may help.
(NB: It is wise to back up your iphone data before updating. iOS)
More info: About iOS 18 Updates - Apple Support
Eg: says "This update introduces the first set of features powered by Apple Intelligence"

Re: "Has anyone else found this issue or how to fix it ?"
As Apple users, like yourself, community members have no access to the feedback that Apple receives on any issue. So, unless someone replies directly to you here, or another community member starts a discussion thread on the same topic, we have no way of knowing.

Re: "how to fix it?"
Apple support's article : Use Live Speech on your iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple Watch - Apple Support
says:
"To remove a favorite phrase:
next to the phrase that you want to delete, then tap Delete."NB: Doesn't seem to say whether or not you can remove "a large chunk" in one go, so, likely not.
If, after updating to iOS 18.1 you can still not delete saved phrases as above,
you might want to send feedback to Apple:
ie: To provide feedback about an accessibility feature on an Apple product,
email the Accessibility team: accessibility@apple.com.
All the best :-)
Thank you for the reply! I have already tried all of this, including fully updating my phone, and unfortunately nothing has worked. I’ll be submitting feedback to Apple, I just wanted to see if others had experienced the same glitch. Thanks!! :)
I have the same issue. I cannot delete any phrases under the “Saved” category - if I select to delete, it does disappear initially but then reappears.
Also if I edit any existing “Saved” phrase, it doesn’t replace the original but just adds a new version. So I’m stuck with multiple copies of the same phrase that I tried to edit.
it’s REALLY annoying since “Saved” is the default first category and it can’t be hidden or moved to the end of the category list.
I’ll definitely contact the Accessibility Support Team. I was glad the Live Speech tool was added, but it needs to allow more customization, like reordering phrases in a category.
Thank you kindly for checking, and for your thoughtful reply. Sorry you still have that issue ... You may want to contact Apple's Accessibility Support Team:
