Hello,
I'm running the 3rd developer beta of ios16.1 on my iphone 13 pro max, & have found a serious bug.
If you put any widgets on your Lock Screen, VoiceOver will completely ignore them.
Has anyone else seen this, & can confirm?

Hey. VoiceOver is reading the widgets fine for me for the most part. Is the issue you‘re having with the top widget or the lower widgets, or both?
For me, I can not swipe to find the top widget, I can only find it if I explore by touch above the clock. I have reported this bug.
The widgets below the clock are working fine though.

VO not reading alternative calendar
VO has stopped reading my Chinese alternative calendar since the beginning of 16.0. My sighted wife told me that its on display.
I am running beta 3
Replying to Dave,
Hi Dave,
The only thing voiceover reads, is the date & time.
Nothing else is spoken by voiceover.
Mine are showing.
I am running the latest public beta file and it is showing on my device.
If you try to flick left or right, it won't show anything but the time.
What you do is trail the screen with your finger. You will find them there. At least, that's how it works on my device.
