No, the IOS platforms have no sense of interacting with a group of items to view the underlying content. Sometimes one will find a IOS item that has subitems like links that are not reachable because VoiceOver clusters the links or buttons with the surrounding content. I certainly have seen this occur in the Starbucks IOS application.

It seems to be the sound of VO indicating that it has changed interaction levels, but goes on for several seconds. Recently, it even occurs with "Reader" mode, and in the Apple News Application. I have not seen anybody complain about this issue in the Macintosh blindness malinger lists I am on though.
