Voiceover bug in iOS 16.1 in emails

Since upgrading to 16.1 iOS iPhone 13 pro, using VoiceOver reading emails brings up an interesting bug. Interested if anybody else has found this. I have two email accounts on my phone, let’s call them account A and account B. I open account A and come to the first unread email. It reads the subject line and the first part of the message. Unfortunately what it seems to be doing most of the time. It’s read the subject line from account A and then the first part of the message from an email in account B. this also happens if I go into account B, it reads the subject line from the account B email and first part of a message from an email in account A. It doesn’t always happen, and visually on the screen it doesn’t Show the email from the opposite account. Very odd and very confusing. Turn off my phone and restart it, and done a hard reboot. Doesn’t seem to have solved the problem very interested to know whether anybody else has come across this. also can anyone advise me on how to report this to Apple.

I'm getting the same thing and it's quite annoying! I only have one email account but, it will do the same thing you're describing here. For me, this is really annoying because I get A LOT of emails! Only things I found that worked were closing and re-opening the mail app, and going to another email and then going back to the original one. Sometimes doing this several times, or having to do a cinmbination of these things several times.

Please do report it to Apple as it's a nasty BUG IMO.
