Hi All,
Lately when I get a notification on the lock screen VO reads it twice. Anyone else encountering this?

Started noticing this after I updated to 15.3.1. It's doing it both on the lock screen and the notification center for me.

Started with the iOS 15. Do not get why people call it one the best. Is crap.

To be honest, saying somethingis crap won't help. Yes i have it also and it's annoying but I'm sure either 15.4 or 16 might have it solved. I still will always wonder how much internal testing is done by actual voice over users. My guess is not much. I'm glad sighted people know somethings about voice over, like the sale clerks on the floor and how to make sure that it works. what i don't get is how some fo these bugs like this are in release after relase. Yes there is no way you can test for everything but if an iPhone 12, my setup and other models are experiencing this, I wonder why they didn't put it through to the development team.

Hi,

There have been reports of this issue on here in the last few weeks. I read somewhere it isn't VO but something directly to do with iOS15.

I am not experiencing this problem, but I do have VoiceOver set not to read notifications. All I get now is a count of how many notifications there are n the locked screen. Works quite nicely.
