I have just migrated my iPhone from iOS 18 to iOs 26. When I was using iOS18 I reported a problem to Apple regarding text navigation while using an external keyboard. If I used an external keyboard to navigate text in apps such as Textastic or Runestone voiceover remains silent. Using an external keyboard with native apps such as Safari or Mail it works as expected. This problem persists using iOS 26. Now I'm starting to wonder if I have an incorrect setting.
I haven't noticed any discussion about this issue. How is this working for others?
