When in a text field in Safari, the VoiceOver rotor's Action menu contains the Misspelled Words item. However, if accessed, it does not actually work - in that it does not locate misspelled words.
This means that VoiceOver users might falsely believe that there are no misspelled words.

In the native iOS weather app, When rain or snow are coming in the next hour, a minute-by-minute precipitation chart appears at the top of the screen (U.S. and UK only).
Currently, VoiceOver only speaks the axis labels of this chart (Now, 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 40 minutes, and 50 minutes). The amount of rain or snow expected for each of these intervals is not spoken by VoiceOver.

When a timer is running, it is shown as a Live Activity in the Dynamic Island on the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. When this is expanded, one of the available buttons is to pause/resume the timer. This button is missing a label for VoiceOver users.

The ‘Radio’ tab in the native Music app contains some graphical UI elements which are not recognized by VoiceOver and can interfere with the movement of VoiceOver focus when swiping through the contents of this tab.
This behaviour may understandably have you assume that there is nothing more on this screen, when in fact there is.
Additionally, you are likely to encounter a number of “Play” and “Schedule” buttons on this tab, where the UI element they are associated with is not recognized or spoken by VoiceOver.

The time picker used when creating or editing a scheduled Screen time downtime or app limit is not accessible with VoiceOver.
Specifically, if you navigate to Settings > Screen Time > Downtime and enable “Scheduled”, the picker used to set the start and end times is not accessible. Likewise for the picker when creating or editing an app limit.

When first navigating to the Search tab of the TV app, a grid of icons is displayed that offers a number of suggested categories, movies, and shows. Typically, VoiceOver will only speak the correct name of a small number of these, with the remainder either announced as unlabelled buttons or given a name that's possibly based upon the file name of the icon or the results of VoiceOver's image recognition feature.

The UI control that's present on the Lock Screen when a Focus mode is enabled foes not work as expected when using VoiceOver.
Specifically, turn on a Focus mode and then go to the Lock Screen.
At the bottom centre of the screen is a button that should give access to a dialog where you can disable the Focus Mode.
On some occasions this control can only be located by touch.
On some occasions it has the label “attachment.png, file, Do Not Disturb”.
On some occasions it has the expected label.

If you use per-app settings to enable Invert Colors for specific apps, you will likely find that the App Switcher will stop working when you open one of these apps.

The VoiceOver cursor gives a visual presentation of the location of VoiceOver focus. It typically does this by placing a solid border around the element - be that a button, a menu item, a block of text, etc.
Very occasionally, this cursor will either disappear completely or become very large (even larger than when you have the large cursor option enabled in Settings).

You can press and hold the Command key or the Globe key + M to bring up a window displaying all of the currently available keyboard commands. This window is arranged into columns, with headings such as System and Multitasking. While VoiceOver does read all elements in the window, it does not follow this column or table structure and the buttons don’t have a clear affect.

Steps to reproduce:
- Open the native Music app and start playing an album or playlist.
- Double-tap on the screen element to open the Mini Player.
- Place VoiceOver focus on any track listed in the ‘Up Next’ list.
- Flick up or down with 1 finger until VoiceOver says “Delete”.
- Double tap with 1 finger.
At this point you would expect the selected track to be deleted from the list. It is not. Nothing happens.
