Hi everyone,
Ever since my Iphone 12 pro was updated to iOS 17, I haven’t been able to take advantage of the image description feature. Nor can I use the image explorer function on Photos and other applications that work with images. Earlier, VoiceOver used to describe images along with the text on them when I was moving my finger over them, specifically after waiting for VoiceOver to provide general information of a particular picture. Earlier there was also the capability to have the view find the screen described while using the camera and figure out what is captured in camera real time. Now that capability is also not available.
Have any of you experienced the same behaviour after updating to iOS 17?
Are there any fixes for this?
Any help on this is much appreciated.

Had images not being described for a while
Then I rebooted. First I went into voice over and turned a few things off and on, but then I gave up and rebooted. Image description is back.
