VoiceOver not always reporting which camera is active when attaching media to an iMessage

VoiceOver Announcements/Feedback
Severity
Moderate

Description

When composing a new iMessage, VoiceOver may not provide feedback on which camera is active if you choose to take a photo or video to add to the message.

If you tap and hold on the button to Attach Media (supposedly the quick option to access this feature), VoiceOver does not announce whether the front or back camera is active.
