iOs 16.1 public beta 4 notification issue

Apple Beta Releases

Hi Guys just installed iOS 16.1 public beta 4 and now notifications are no longer read out on the locked screen. VoiceOver simply advises you have a notification. Checked settings and notification previews are still turned on. Works as expected when screen is unlocked.

You can still have the notifications read out by flicking as usual. They are just not read out by default.

Just checking, but have you made sure that Settings ~> Accessibility ~> VoiceOver ~> Verbosity ~> Always Speak Notifications is enabled?

Hi, re Brian's post yes that setting is turned on. Interestingly as this has gone on it seems if the phone is awake on the locked screen then it does still read them out. Only if the phone is locked and screen shutdown does this not work. Odd.

Recently after the 3 or 4 beta of iPad VO does not read notification. It just say notification. Nuts.

Excuse me, I'm wondering the volume of VoiceOver. From iOS 15.7, The volume of all media playing is boosted while that of VoiceOver keeps at the same level. VoiceOver cannot be listened clearly when the media is playing. Does anyone discover any improvement on the new beta release? Thx.
