In Classic view, the Recents tab of the Phone app contains tab buttons for All and Missed.
The user can select these with VoiceOver, and VoiceOver confirms it has been selected, but the content is not updated.
Therefore the user cannot view only missed calls in this view.

When the user selects the Show Bookmarks button in Safari, there are tabs for Start page, Bookmarks, Reading list and History.
It is possible to select these buttons, and VoiceOver indicates they have been selected, but the content itself does not update, meaning content can not be reached.

Typically when using the VoiceOver rotor, as you move to a control, VoiceOver will announce it's current status.
For example, move the rotor to Volume, VoiceOver will say "Volume, 70%". Or for hints, it will say "Hints, enabled".
On Voice however, it simply announces "Voice", whereas it should say for example "Voice, Alex".
It does announce the voice if you then swipe up or down to change it, hence it is only a very minor bug.

The device becomes unresponsive for a short period after sending a reply to an email in the Mail app
Post Date:
When sending an email in the Mail app, the device becomes unresponsive for up to 30 seconds--with the amount of delay appearing to be proportional to the age of the device. This appears to only happen when you send after replying to an email, not when sending after composing a new message.

If a VoiceOver user chooses to include the Direct Touch toggle in the Quick Settings panel, it does appear, but it is not possible to select the switch to enable the feature.
It remains off when selected.

In some situations, the Enhanced quality Siri voices may not be available for use with VoiceOver. This bug has been very difficult to reproduce, and only one member of our team is currently experiencing it.

Please note. This problem is not present even under iOS 16.0 unless running a firmware version older than 2.1 of the braille display. In cases like the Humanware NLS E-Reader where there is currently no version 2.1, this problem still persists as outlined below.
These commands no longer work. For Brailliant and Chameleon users, a firmware update to version 2.1 will address this bug. it is not available to the NLS E-Reader devices though which are also produced by Humanware.

The braille display commands for activating Sound Curtain (Space with dots 1-2-3-4-5-6-7) and Touch Curtain (Space with Dots 1-2-3-4-5-6-8) do nothing when activated. Assigning alternative commands or gestures for these functions also does not work.

- Ensure that VoiceOver is enabled.
- Open Safari.
- Double-tap with 1 finger on the address field.
- With VoiceOver focus still on the address field, flick up with 1 finger.
You should find that VoiceOver will announce “Show Context Menu”.
If you double-tap with 1 finger at this point, nothing happens (this is one of the many places across iOS 13 where the “Show Context Menu” is present on the VoiceOver rotor's Action menu but does nothing (as the new long press functionality is not available on the UI elements concerned).

The KeyPad used to enter or edit a SIM PIN in Settings>Phone>SIM PIN is completely inaccessible with VoiceOver.
