Description

Fitness stickers in Messages lack adequate VoiceOver accessibility labels. When navigating fitness stickers, VoiceOver simply announces "sticker" repeatedly instead of descriptive labels (e.g. "person jogging sticker") to provide context.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Enable VoiceOver.
  2. Open Messages and navigate to an existing conversation.
  3. Long press on a message to bring up the contextual menu.
  4. Double tap "Add Sticker."
  5. Switch to the Fitness tab in the Sticker keyboard.
  6. Move focus through the available stickers.

Expected Results: VoiceOver should announce a descriptive label for each sticker (e.g. "person lifting weights sticker" or "person jogging sticker").

Actual Results: VoiceOver announces each sticker as just "sticker" without additional context.
