<details>/<summary> disclosures do not have their role, or expanded/collapsed state announced by VoiceOver.
This makes it impossible for blind or visually impaired VoiceOver users to know there is a disclosure that can be expanded. This makes a fair amount of content on the internet impossible to access.
Demo page: https://a11ysupport.io/tests/html/html/details-summary.html
Demo HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en-NZ">
<head>
<title>Details summary test</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Details summary test</h1>
<details>
Test disclosure
<summary>expandable content</summary>
</details>
</body>
</html>

Any update here? It’s 6 months since the original post and the issue still persists on iOS/Safari 16.1. I consider this a pretty severe bug.

Agreed. I'm having to do some hacky things to keep details/summary working — I filed a similar bug for iOS 15-16 before I saw this. Same issue.

I wonder if we can raise some awareness about this bug and hopefully get someone's attention? I tried to diagnose the exact cause of this bug, but I found the Accessibility Inspector on iOS did not provide the required information, such as expanded/collapsed state - but this was back on iOS 15.

I believe this is a duplicate of bug 204628.
