I’ve only made (Actually received) one call so far, but I was unable to get voice over to read any controls on the screen during the call. For example, how do I end a call? Is that happening to anyone else? Program VWersion, 85.0.16019 I’m using an iPhone SE with iOS 12.4.1.

Hello, I am an accessibility Program Manager working with the Duo team at Google. thank you for this feedback. Our team is investigating now.

Our team tested and we were not able to reproduce this issue. could you try to place or receive another call after making sure Duo is updated from the app store? and if you are able to take a screen recording please send it to me mikemello@google.com and feel free to report any other accessibility issues with Duo on iOS or Android/web

Glad to know I wasn't the only one who was having the controls not showing up problem.
It's also happening on Android 10 as well with my Iphone S10E.

If needed I'll send a screen shot along too, though i think the Android and iOS Duo call screens are practically similar.

Well I placed a call this morning, and it worked just fine. The other call was one I received, so I don’t know if that is the difference or if it was just a one time fluke.
Thank you for investigating.

I honestly don't see the point in changing the name of an app that has a perfectly good name, to something that is already taken and then branding the original app as "Meet (original)" Does anyone know the reason for this?
