Reachability with voiceover?

So I always had a gesture since this is possible to go to the status bar on my iphone xs and now 14. It can be very useful sometimes.
I have just learned about reachability and how sighted users can use it. I know I could just assign a gesture for it and it will probabyl work, but is there another more elegant way to use this feature with voiceover? Can we just swipe at the botom of the screen as indicated in the doc, or whatever the way is, and reachability will just work with vo? I have not tried this fully but I know that on another iphone not mine when VO on there seems to be sounds for reachability so I imagine this just works with VO?
