A Small Refinement to iOS 18 Audio Ducking

A few months ago, I wrote about audio ducking in iOS 18. Since the initial release came out, there has been a small refinement to what I originally described.

The ducking choices themselves remain the same: off, when speaking and always. The ducking amount, however, has been moved to a separate setting by the name of Ducking Amount that you can add to the VoiceOver rotor.

To find this setting, open Settings, Accessibility, VoiceOver, Rotor Items and add Ducking Amount.

The Ducking Amount setting allows you to adjust the amount from zero to 100 percent. This is far less confusing than having this controlled by setting volume percentages of greater than 100, as it used to work.

    you need to revise your article! You fail to state two important things.
    1 it is in 18.2
    2 You need to add ducking amount to the rotor. It will not be there automatically
    These are very important things that can not be left out!!!!!!!!!!
