Apple Beta Releases

Hello,
I'm running the 9th developer beta of iOS 26 on my iPhone 16 pro max & cannot figure out for the life of me, how to open the playback speed chooser.
I've tried double-tapping, double-tapping & holding & a long press; none of which worked.
Has anyone gotten this to work?
If so, what's the secret?

Share Your Bug Reports with AppleVis

If you experience a bug in Apple Beta Software, the most important thing you can do is to file a report in Feedback Assistant. Please do not assume that Apple is already aware of a bug or that your report won't make a difference; your report may provide crucial information, and submitting bug reports directly to Apple helps them reproduce and resolve the issue faster. The more reports they receive, the higher the priority Apple is likely to give to fixing the bug.

If you are using beta software, please use the Feedback Assistant on your device to submit feedback and bug reports. If you are using a public release, this blog post explains how to report the issue and what information to include.

In 2025, AppleVis launched the Community Bug Reporting Program with the goal of improving the quality and quantity of information we share with the community about bugs in Apple software releases. If you would like to contribute to this effort, please submit your reports via our Community Bug Report Form.

All reports shared with AppleVis must first be filed with Apple via Feedback Assistant. More information about the Community Bug Program is available here.

Double tap and hold and then drag up or down to change the speed. You will feel haptics for every 0.1 change.
I don’t know why it doesn’t behave like other adjustable sliders with voiceover. I will probably send them a bug report.
I don’t usually use Podcast app so, I did not know about this until now.
