I reported an issue with VoiceOver 3 finger scrolling in the Mail app introduced in beta 3 of iOS 26.1 and this issue persists in the release candidate. The feedback post indicates that there are more than 10 similar reports. I'm using an iPhone 17 Pro and the issue seems to be mostly related to mail messages which have image content. If VoiceOver is focused on an image in a message then the three finger scroll gesture doesn't work. If a vertical scroll bar is present this operates as normal. The issue can be quite irritating when the message comprises multiple consecutive images. With only 10+ similar reports I wonder if the bug is only appearing under very specific circumstances. Are others experiencing this?

If you experience a bug in Apple Beta Software, the most important thing you can do is to file a report in Feedback Assistant. Please do not assume that Apple is already aware of a bug or that your report won't make a difference; your report may provide crucial information, and submitting bug reports directly to Apple helps them reproduce and resolve the issue faster. The more reports they receive, the higher the priority Apple is likely to give to fixing the bug.
If you are using beta software, please use the Feedback Assistant on your device to submit feedback and bug reports. If you are using a public release, this blog post explains how to report the issue and what information to include.
