After using the "More" option from the VoiceOver Actions menu on a Lock Screen notification, you may find on occasions that 1 or more other notifications which were previously listed on the Lock Screen are now gone.
Post Date:
On occasions, when using an external keyboard, you will find that when you press on Control+Option+SpaceBar the Context menu will be triggered rather than the item VoiceOver focus is on at the time being activated.
This doesn't happen often, but frequently enough to be an irritation and to indicate that there is an underlying issue.
It also doesn't appear to be widespread in terms of where it can be encountered, but has been seen on Home screen icons, in the mail app, and in RSS and Twitter apps.

There are situations system-wide where you will find that some VoiceOver voices will announce punctuation such as apostrophes and quotation marks when they should not be spoken.

On occasions, VoiceOver fails to indicate the presence of notifications on the Lock Screen when the device is woken; despite the appropriate settings being configured to speak the count of notifications. This issue occurs intermittently, with no identifiable pattern or cause.

On occasions, you may not be able to locate by touch the Space key on the onscreen keyboard. When this happens, VoiceOver may report that you have ‘touched’ the Dictate key, but will still insert a space when you double-tap. However, this behavior does not appear to be consistent and is infrequent.

In situations where action in one app results in a second app being opened - such as when double-tapping on a link in the Mail app will cause the webpage to open in Safari - it may not be possible to locate by touch the Status Bar afterwards.
This appears to be a device-specific issue.
It is consistently reproducible on an iPhone XS Max, but does not occur on an iPhone SE or a 2019 iPad Air.

On the iPad, it is not possible to move apps to the dock using drag and drop options in the VoiceOver rotor actions menu.
If you have selected Drag on an app, when you move focus to the dock, there is no Drop option in the menu.

When navigating the playback controls on either the Lock Screen or Notification Center, VoiceOver does not recognise or speak the total duration time which is visually present on screen below the timeline slider/scrubber; speaking only the current position of whatever audio you are playing.

Place VoiceOver focus on an element on the lock screen, for example the time.
Swipe right repeatedly to cycle through the elements, such as the date, the flashlight button, the camera button and any notifications that are on screen.
You will encounter the elements of the status bar, such as wifi and battery level, even though you have not moved focus to the status bar.

- Ensure that VoiceOver is enabled.
- Open the Find My app.
- Locate the Map Settings button and double-tap with 1 finger.
On the resulting screen the Close button is missing a VoiceOver label.

Add the Weather widget to any screen.
When reading a temperature, VoiceOver speaks the word “degrees” twice. For example, “6 degrees degrees Celsius”.
Post Date:
When on the Now Playing screen in the native Music app and navigating by flicking, VoiceOver navigation and feedback will suggest that UI elements from the screen you were on before activating the Now Playing screen are still present on screen. This makes for a very confusing and misleading user experience, as these ‘ghost’ elements are not visually present on screen and cannot be activated, despite what VoiceOver suggests.
Post Date:
On the Power Off / Medical ID / Emergency Call screen, VoiceOver finds and speaks erroneous UI elements such as the word “Call” and the phrase “location.fill.radiowaves.left.and.right iPhone Findable After Power Off Forward” if invoked when you have an open app in the foreground.

On the Weather app's small widget, the graphic that visually indicates to sighted users the current weather conditions is not recognised or announced by VoiceOver.
Post Date:
On the Weather app's small widget, the high and low temperature information is spoken twice by VoiceOver. What's announced will be something similar to: “Check The Weather Widget LocationName, ,, 18°, , High of 19°, Low of 12°, High of 19°, Low of 12°.

The new predictive text feature in iOS 17 provides recommended words inline as you type using the onscreen keyboard. There are verbosity settings that allow VoiceOver users to control what happens when predictive text appears and when predictive text feedback is entered.

The Globe key, or FN on some keyboards, is now used as a modifier key. Pressing it while VoiceOver is disabled brings up a list of available keyboard commands. With VoiceOver enabled, it only briefly pops up and disappears again.
