I am trying to add accessibility features to an iOS app that has already been developed.

There are a couple of UI features (e.g. buttons) that I like them to show up if the VoiceOver option in the accessibility menu of the iPhone settings is on and do not show up if the voiceover is off.

Is there a way to check whether the voiceover option is on or not?
