I tried to get Voice Over working but scroll broke once enabled. It says three fingers to scroll but that just won't work for me.
You have to tap the part of the screen you want to scroll, first.

#22Makes the phone virtually unusable if you’re not familiar with voiceover gestures
You can ask Siri to turn off Voiceover thankfully, can turn it on and off inside of the Camera app this way.

#24Word of warning, if you lock your phone and you're not familiar with the voice over input it can be really annoying to unlock your phone...Seems to turn off face id as well? You can ask Siri to turn off voice over and all is well.
My phone is set to use the “accessibility shortcut” function, with is mapped to triple-click side button toggles VoiceOver.
Right down the bottom of Settings > Accessibility.
Edit: you can also enable screen curtain in iOS (and watchOS!), which means your phone can operate with the screen completely off when in VoiceOver.
Good for privacy / battery!

#25Turning on voice over to investigate this has to have been one of my worst decisions in life. Please do not repeat.

#26I just tried this as it was really bad. Kept saying everything was a picture of the night sky, only one of many many descriptions was correct.

Here's the cheat sheet to gestures you have to use to control your phone once it's turned on, which I guess was your problem. https://support.apple.com/en-au/guide/iphone/iph3e2e2329/ios

#29Neat. Is my phone classifying all this stuff, or is it sending all my photos to some Apple server to do it? I watched the video in the OP but it didn't go into any technical details.

#30If you have tagged people in photos from your camera roll it will also say “maybe (person name)” when it sees a match in the viewfinder. Pretty neat.
