Real-time text (RTT) is a feature on iPhone that allows you to communicate using text in real-time during a phone call. If you want to disable this feature on your iPhone, you can follow these steps:
- Open the Settings app: Locate and open the Settings app on your iPhone.
- Go to “Accessibility”: Scroll down and select “Accessibility”.
- Select “RTT/TTY”: Under the “Hearing” section, select “RTT/TTY”.
- Turn off RTT: Toggle off the switch next to “Software RTT/TTY” to disable the RTT feature.
- Confirm the action: A pop-up will appear asking if you want to turn off RTT. Select “Turn Off” to confirm the action.
Note: If you have a hardware TTY device that you want to use instead of RTT, you can select “Hardware TTY” instead of “Software RTT/TTY” in step 4 and connect your TTY device to your iPhone using an adapter.
Once you have disabled RTT on your iPhone, you will no longer be able to use the RTT feature during phone calls.
Why does my iPhone switch to RTT?
Your iPhone may switch to RTT (real-time text) during a phone call if the RTT feature is turned on and your carrier supports it. Here are some possible reasons why your iPhone may switch to RTT:
- Accessibility settings: If you have the RTT feature turned on in your Accessibility settings, your iPhone may switch to RTT automatically during a phone call.
- Carrier support: Some carriers support RTT and may switch your iPhone to RTT during a phone call if the other party is also using an RTT-enabled device or if the carrier detects poor call quality.
- Hardware TTY device: If you have a hardware TTY (teletypewriter) device connected to your iPhone, your iPhone may switch to RTT automatically when you make or receive a call.
If you do not want your iPhone to switch to RTT automatically during a phone call, you can turn off the RTT feature in your Accessibility settings. You can also contact your carrier to see if they can disable RTT on their end.
Where is RTT in iPhone settings?
To find the RTT (real-time text) setting on your iPhone, you can follow these steps:
- Open the Settings app: Locate and open the Settings app on your iPhone.
- Go to “Accessibility”: Scroll down and select “Accessibility”.
- Select “RTT/TTY”: Under the “Hearing” section, select “RTT/TTY”.
- Turn on/off RTT: Toggle the switch next to “Software RTT/TTY” to turn the RTT feature on or off.
Note: If you have a hardware TTY device that you want to use instead of RTT, you can select “Hardware TTY” instead of “Software RTT/TTY” in step 4 and connect your TTY device to your iPhone using an adapter.
Once you have found the RTT setting, you can turn the feature on or off as needed. If the RTT feature is turned on, your iPhone may switch to RTT automatically during a phone call if your carrier supports it. If you do not want your iPhone to switch to RTT automatically, you can turn off the RTT feature in your Accessibility settings.
Sure, here’s some additional information about the RTT setting on iPhone:
The RTT feature on iPhone is designed to help people who are deaf, hard of hearing, or have a speech disability to communicate more easily during phone calls. When RTT is turned on, you can send and receive text messages in real-time during a phone call, rather than having to wait for the other person to finish speaking.
To use RTT on iPhone, both you and the person you are calling need to have RTT-enabled devices and be on a carrier that supports RTT. If one of you does not have an RTT-enabled device or is on a carrier that does not support RTT, the phone call will function like a traditional phone call without RTT.
The RTT setting on iPhone can be found in the Accessibility settings, as mentioned earlier. If you want to use a hardware TTY device instead of RTT, you can select “Hardware TTY” in the RTT/TTY setting and connect your TTY device to your iPhone using an adapter.
Overall, the RTT feature on iPhone is a useful accessibility feature for those who are deaf, hard of hearing, or have a speech disability. If you have any further questions about the RTT feature on iPhone or how to use it, you can contact Apple support for assistance.
