Hi Allyssa,

In Files>Browse> Location, Favorites, Tags ... VoiceOver announces
"Location button heading collapsed, double tap to expand". However,
when I double-tap it expands the items below but the change in state
"expanded" is not announced by VoiceOver.
I am using iPhone 10 with iOS 15.5.
Yes this is certainly a WCAG failure as per sc 4.1.2 at Level A.
I have not come across similar implementation on another native app
so can't comment about that.

Always BPositive!
