Can't open notifications

Hello!

After upgraded to Ios 16 I can't open notifications from the lock screen or the notification center. I am using Voiceover and when I double tap nothing happens.
I have the same problem on both my Iphone SE and Iphone 8.

I don't think it's solely a problem on iOS 16 as I sometimes face the same issue using iOS 15.7 with my iPhone 13.

Is it any solution on this problem?

Sometimes performing a triple tap will lead you to options, one of them being to open the notification. However, this does not work in all applications.

Double tap twice doesn't work.

Hi, I've found if you set notifications to be in the list mode rather than grouped it works.

Hello!

How do I change this to list mode?

It works for me with no issues.

Hi, go in to settings notifications. In there you have options on how you want them to be shown on the locked screen. Can change it from there.

Now I've asked a person who sees to look at what happens when I try to open notifications on the lock screen.
When you click on the notice, a button called "open" appears. That button does not Voiceover detect.
The question is how to solve that problem.

I tested by sweep
ing up and down to activate after double click but it doesn't work for me.
