Hey y'all! I put the iPadOS 26 beta on my iPad Pro M4 and must say while many general things feel quite allright, there are definitely some areas that are very beta with regards to VoiceOver. Control Center doesn't talk at all, the multitasking control at the top of apps isn't accessible, in Files, none of the file or folder names read, and so far, I haven't found a way to activate the much talked about menu bar in Mail, Notes or any other app. So yeah, unlike previous years, the beta feels like a beta indeed from the getgo. Has any other VoiceOver user experimented with the beta on iPad and found ways to accomplish accessing the menu bar?
