Notifications visible to sighted, but not spoken by Voiceover, IOS11 on SE

iOS and iPadOS
New phone, Voiceover won't speak notifications on apps like Mail, Facebook and Twitter. I had it checked by sighted assistance and they are there. Tried resetting the device, which provided a temporary fix, but problem came back again very quickly.
I have the Speak Notifications setting off, but VO reads my notifications when I flick to them past the time and date on the lock screen. It's just that it tells me how many notifications I have instead of announcing them right away. So this problem may only be affecting the SEs. I have an iPhone 8.
