Missing control type of components in mobile

Hi All,

Hope all doing good.

In mobile while testing an application on android with talkback observe
that control type of the elements are not announced on focusing but
talkback gives the instruction "double tap to activate".

It's a violation under WCAG4.1.2 if the role is not exposed to screen
readers but what could be the impact if control type is missing announcing
the instructions like "double tap to activate"? Hearing to instruction user
for sure activates items and I would like to know which users have more
impact due to this behavior?
