Hi, in the latest beta of iOS 17.5 there is a weird back where voiceover suddenly turns off when opening an app. The only thing that helps is restarting your phone with Siri. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

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.

Yes, I'm having the same thing. Very frustrating. But it seems like it's only a few certain apps it's happening with. Not sure why.
And also, this seems somehow to be related to automatic language switching. If I choose either english or norwegian, which is my native language, in the language selection in VO rotor and then open the same app, this will not happen. It's only when the VO language is set to the option which automatically detects language and switches voice automatically. But this is a pretty serious bug, if Apple's not correcting this before the official release of iOS 17.5.
