iPhone XS and lock screen

Hi, I just bought my new iPhone XS, and I am loving it so far. my probably most annoying issue is that when I get texts, or emails, etc, the lock screen won't let voiceoverr read the message, or read me the subject of the email. Can this be fixed? I went from my iphone7 running iOS 12 ato my iPhone xs running iOS 12, and this is the most annoying issue so far. I hope someone has any clues to see if this can be fixed? or is it by design? or a bug?

Thanks.
