conveying expand/collapse state with details/summary elements

Does anyone have a view on conveying the expand/collapse state with details/summary elements? I am testing a webpage built by one of our clients and I am using VoiceOver with Safari on iOS 12.1.4. The details element has a role of 'group' and the summary element has a role of 'button' and an aria-expanded attribute set to 'false' initially. However, the problem is that VoiceOver announces the button but does not convey the state.

Does anyone know of if the expand/collapse state can be conveyed with details/summary elements using Safari?
