Good Morning: You are having the same problems that I had a year ago
with the Spectrum App. Their Tech's have no accessibility training with
these applications. They only want to sell the settopbox. I had a tech
out at that time on a line problem and he didn't even know about Voice
Over.
My notifications come through loud and clear.
I use the note sound for text messages etc and it sounds like it always has.
The only difference I find is the default notification sound.
That has changed to a lower tone which I actually like.
So, what are everyone complaining about?
On Tue, 19 Sept
I've had the same issue and have reported it in the Feedback Assistant. I
suspect it's a glitch or a bug that may be sorted in an update.

Hi all. Since IOS 16 update my focus does not stay paired. If I want to
use the display with my iphone 13 mini I have to go into settings,
voice-over, braille, and repair the device. Has anyone else seen this and is
there hope that it is fixed in 17. It's doable, but a bit of a pain.
Thanks.
Why not let others be the guinea pig when updates to a new operating system
come out?
Deleting the app and installing it again sounds like your only option for now.
Good luck,

I was having a lot of trouble double tapping under iOS 17 until I adjusted the
double tap delay under accessibility from 0.25 to 0.30. Now double tapping is
working as before for me. It may be worth trying.

Is this related to BARD? If not then I still hear a tone when I hold down the
side button. It's no louder than it was in IOS 16 though.

If you have your voiceover shortcut set to where you can just turn it off and on that way, you could do that. Otherwise, tell Siri to turn voiceover off. Then tell Siri to turn voiceover back on. That should do it.This sounds like a recurrence of the annoying now you see it now you don’t bug
