the seek bar for skipping within a playing song has been inaccessible to voiceOver for ages

I am using version 8.5.30, and have replicated this issue with both IOS 12 and 13. When swiping through the home screen, I get no description of what might be contained in a given playlist. It just says daily mix one button, daily mix two button, daily mix three button, and so on. I have confirmed that a sighted person can still see the artists a given list contains on the home screen. are other people experiencing the same problem with this most recent update? It is very frustrating.

I’m running 13.3 beta, with Spotify 8.5.31. I’m having no issues. Others have though. Might be version or device related. Report to Spotify and Apple.

Hmmm, I've just updated to 8.5.31 and am having the same issue. I am not, however, running the IOS beta. I really wonder what gives. I am using an iPhone 8. I have also reported this issue to Spotify. I'm interested in what others are experiencing. Thanks for sharing.

Spotify was just updated to 8.5.42. It includes accessibility improvements. The Daily Mix playlists again announce artists. Only took 5 months to fix.

Scrolling through episodes and swiping backwards now seems to result in VO focus sliding right over the past episodes and to see them I have to go into the episodes again and page down. Also there is some focus issues in the long list of genres at the bottom of the search screen, VO always jumping over the first few. If these are reproduceable I would recommend this rating be changed to reflect these minor bugs.
