IOS accessibility VoiceOver: Radiobutton

Question

With VoiceOver enabled, user hears a message that the user is on the selected radio button 1 of 3 but does not announce any message as to how user can interact with other radio buttons in the group.

Is it a default behavior? or should it also announced any message about how user can interact with radio button?

Thanks in advance:)

Answer 1

I used to hear "double tap to activate" all the time on radio buttons and regular buttons but I don't hear it anymore. My "speak hints" option is turned on in Settings > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Verbosity and I thought that's what controlled whether you heard the interaction hint. Perhaps an iOS update changed what it announces.

In any event, as long as your HTML is semantically correct (if you're talking about a webpage) or if you're using a native API widget, then you should be ok. Don't worry about the hint. iOS will handle that for you.
