Steps to reproduce
Unlock the iPhone and swipe to a notification. The longer its contents, the likelier the issue is to occur, however, there does not seem to be a clear way to reliably reproduce it.

Another problem with notifications and VO
Another problem when reading notifications on the lock screen or the notification center is when a new notification comes in, VO generally jumps to the top item on the lock screen, likely time or date on the lock screen/notification center. Am I the only one who has this annoyance?
I experienced this also
LOCKING of device is happening frequently FOR me.
I think I might have a way around this.
If you turn off low power mode, you should be able to go to the settings where you can decide how long it is until your screen locks and turn that off.
The only thing is; I don't know how to get there so you'll have to search for low power in the search part of settings, same with lock screen.
