Re: iOS 18.5 : 15 Pro Max updated to iOS18 and Voiceover Stopped Working Properly.
I cannot advance to the next page from my home screen using the gesture it suggests. One I have used for a while now and not had a problem. Whne I use the gesture, it tells me the page number but doesn't move to
the next page. Or moves to another icon on the screen
Commiserations on the difficulty you are facing. Am no expert in this area, yet your post to the community deserves some response.
If you haven't already tried it::wondering if re-starting your iPhone may help: (ie: deletes temporary files, re-establishes connections, may update any recent setting changes , and often restores order if something is not working as expected.
You may want to check whether VoiceOver gestures are set up as you want them to be: Apple support has an article that may help: Customize VoiceOver gestures and keyboard shortcuts on iPhone - Apple Support
Eg: says:
"Go to Settings
> Accessibility > VoiceOver > Commands.
Tap :
- All Commands: Navigate to the command you want to customize, then tap Edit, Add Gesture, or Add Keyboard Shortcut."
