Hi guys!
I haven’t seen much discussion about a VoiceOver navigation issue in the Health app, so I wanted to check if anyone else is experiencing this or if I’m missing something obvious.
Since the release of iOS 17.0, I’ve been unable to navigate backward or forward through health data using VoiceOver. Specifically, when inside a health category and selecting a timeframe (day, week, month, 6 months, or year), there’s no way with VO to move to the previous or next period—even though sighted users can do this without any problem. I reported this through the Feedback Assistant (FB14848513) back in September, after having talked to Apple Accessibility on [email protected], and getting a reply confirming that they also could reproduce the issue. But since I was running a beta version of iOS, they wanted me to report it through the Feedback Assistant instead, so I did, and have kept on updating the rapport with new comments for every new release where this haven’t been fixed yet. And the issue persists still in the latest dev beta, iOS 18.5 on my iPhone 14 Pro.
Has anyone else encountered this? If you have noticed the same issue, it would be very nice if you could report it to Apple via Feedback Assistant or by emailing [email protected]. The more feedback they receive, the more likely a fix will eventually come.
Thanks and take care :)

No Issues Here Thus Far
I saw this thread just a bit ago, so I opened up the health app on my iPhone 14 running 18.4 . Everything seems to work okay for me, and I noticed that I can now set up walking steadiness notifications. I successfully did this and we'll see what happens.
Yeah, that's great, but can…
Yeah, that's great, but can you navigate back and forward in your health data too? Can you e.g. check your step count for any particular day say in 2019, or check your activity for 10th of June in 2021? That's the part I find impossible to do ever since iOS 17.
