Messages notifications on Lock Screen

Hey Everyone,

Since upgrading to iOS 16 I have noticed a few issues between devices. I have an iPhone 8 and iPhone SE. This post is for the iPhone SE 2022. On the Lock Screen, when I double tap the messages notification that I want to open to respond to it slides to the right and displays an open button but voiceover cannot read or recognize the button. Instead of having to unlock my device and either have Siri read the message to me or open the messages app manually. If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I cannot answer yours, but to piggyback on that, I have an iPhone 13 mini, and since I have upgraded to the 16.02 when I text message using Siri, it will still read it back to me like before, but if I want to edit manually like I used to, it doesn’t let me. I would touch the screen and once I get to the message I can double tap on it and edit it manually but it does not show the text on my screen anymore. Now I have to have Siri do a whole new email, a hassle. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

It doesn't seem like any siri things show up on screen anymore.

I'm also not able to open notifications by double tapping on them or flicking through the other options such as clear, more, etc. The open button visually appears when I tap on the notification but it doesn't engage. I just updated to IOS16.0.2 and I have an iPhone12 mini. Any help is appreciated!
Thanks.
