Apple Beta Releases

Hello all,

I have always been curious to try turning on lockdown mode, and checking if VoiceOver will be impacted. My assumption was VoiceOver would not work. I am excited to report I was wrong! VoiceOver works with no degradation on functionality! I wanted to give a mention of this, as I didn’t see it mentioned elsware when talking about the iOS 16 beta. Lockdown Mode, itself was mentioned on other sites, but now, I’m bringing it to AppleVis, of course with a VoiceOver twist. Let us all know if any of you testers have tried this, and report back on your comments.
