Hi Debbie, Voiceover wasn’t reading notifications on the lock screen when I was using an iPhone 8 with versions from IOS 16 forward. Although I am alerted to a new notification when the phone is locked, voiceover also doesn’t read notifications on my new iPhone 14 Pro. Some on this list have reported they aren’t having this problem. Apparently we are part of an exclusive group. 😀 I called Apple Accessibility yesterday, and the woman I spoke with said she wasn’t familiar with this issue, which is weird since this has been a known problem since IOS 16.1 came out. Granted, some are reporting this is not a problem for them, but it certainly is for many of us. The Apple Accessibility representative’s only comment was to use “Hey Siri”. I respect the proposed alternative, but so hope that one day, voiceover will once again read notifications on the lock screen. I submitted a case with Apple Accessibility, and encourage you to do so as well.

Now when I receive a notification, it just announces 1 new notification but doesn’t read the notification aloud. I have to flick to it and read it that way. How can I get it to read the notification on the locked screen when it comes in? Thank you! Debbie unless -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
