Voiceover Unresponsive When trying to create a post on Instagram

Every time I switch to the Create tab to make a story, reel, or post, VoiceOver becomes unresponsive and cannot access the screen content. The only workaround is to enable screen recognition before tapping the Create tab, but that’s not ideal. This issue hasn’t been fixed for months. What’s the best way to send feedback?

Em I the only one who's having this issue?

I have this issue to and have had for a long time. Very frustrating indeed.

I have this bug too.
However, an even bigger problem is probably the fact that Meta doesn’t respond at all to any accessibility reports.

If anything, try shaking your phone; it should trigger a report.

When you go to the create tab, the screen just goes completely black and you have to close out of the Instagram app so you can actually use it again. This only happens when VoiceOver is turned on.
