Screen editing mode question

iOS and iPadOS

Hello there. I installed IOS11.0.2 on my iPhone this morning, and since then i just cannot get into screen edit mode in order to use drag and drop. I’ve tried the double-tap and hold gesture with varying amounts of pressure, the tone does sound but there is no feedback from Voiceover confirming i am in screen edit mode. This is the first time i’ve come across this - all was working fine in version 11.0. Has anyone else been struggling? Am i missing something? Is there anything else i could try? Many thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hi. By any chance have you enabled Zoom as well as VoiceOver? In iOS11 this function doesn't work when both are active. Just a thought.

Perchance, are you trying to invoke screen editing by double tapping and holding on an icon on the last row? Have you tried double tapping and holding on an icon near the top of the screen? Apple confirms a bug which prevents icons on the last row from being used to invoke screen editing.
