WCAG 2.4.2 (page title) and native mobile apps

Hey gang

One dilemma I've faced lately is outlining guideines for testing
page/screen titles on native mobile apps.
The concept of a page title is not as clearly defined for mobile apps
and I find that screen readers don't use it as aggressively as they
would on web (most of the time they do not automatically announce the
screen title, sometimes they don't announce it at all).
What would you recommend as guidelines for 2.4.2 as they relate to
native mobile apps and what is your experience from user testing (if
you have such).
Thanks much, as always.
