Navigation through subscription list in iOS 16 beta very inconsistent

Apple Beta Releases

So I’ve been noticing that the subscription list is now relatively inaccessible.

At this point in the iOS 16 beta, the subscription list can be found in settings, iCloud, subscriptions. Swiping right through the list does a few weird things. It either jumps over most of the subscriptions, or it locks onto one of the subscriptions, making it relatively impossible to navigate past it. I did submit a bug report in the feedback application.It is FB10897149 (Navigation through list of subscriptions has become unpredictable for voiceover user. VO user unable to find and interact with different subscriptions)

I’m hoping that the users in this website can follow up and make sure that we get this resolved. I think it’s relatively very important because they are going to be times when we purchase a subscription and then for whatever reason we might need to cancel it. This makes canceling a subscription very very difficult.

Your Feedback is Important to Improving Accessibility on Apple platforms

Don't assume that Apple is aware of a bug or that your report won't make a difference - submitting bug reports directly to the company helps them reproduce and resolve the issue faster. Your report may provide crucial information. The more reports they receive, the higher the priority they give to fixing the bug.

If you're using a beta version, use the Feedback Assistant on your device to submit feedback and bug reports. If you're using a public release, follow the instructions on this page.

This issue appears to have been introduced last month when Apple made some changes to the subscriptions management screen.

This means that it is not specific to the beta. Everybody should be encountering it regardless of iOS version used..

We have an entry in the site's Bug Tracker for it here: Navigating the subscription management section of the App Store is inconsistent and unreliable for VoiceOver users

As you say, it makes managing subscriptions quite difficult. So, please everybody report it to Apple so that it is prioritised.
