Description

When the state of an item changes or the screen updates, VoiceOver does not always recognize/speak the information. Manifestations of this issue include (but are not limited to):

  • When the device is woken with the Side Button, VoiceOver may speak the time that the device was last woken instead of the current time;
  • When a collapsible item is expanded, VoiceOver may behave as though the item is still collapsed and the information contained within is hidden;
  • When information updates onscreen (such as the status of an operation in an app), VoiceOver may not speak it right away and instead speak the previously-displayed text.
