VoiceOver ignoring WCAG 1.3.1 and 2.4.2

Hello,



I have been doing some mobile web testing in preparation for a demo, and have discovered a couple of issues with VoiceOver and I want to know if others have seen the problems:



1. When navigating tables, VoiceOver is not reading column headers even though the table is properly marked up using scope="col" attributes.

2. VoiceOver is not announcing page titles when there is a full or partial page refresh and the title changes.

System configurations:

iPhone 8 with iOS 13.1.1

iPad mini with iPadOS 13.1.2



These two requirements seem pretty basic so I would expect VoiceOver to respect them.

Accessibility, like security, is better when built-in from the beginning rather than bolted on at the end.
