Hi Alisa,

Here the expanded state in the Files native app is announced by VO on
iPhone 10/iOS 15 as mentioned earlier. However, the state is not
announced correctly, i.e. when in collapsed state VO continues to
announce the state as expanded.
You can checkout the native Microsoft Teams app and see the Team's
expanded/collapsed state is announced perfectly. Considering this, I
had mentioned that the example in question will be a WCAG failure as
per 4.1.2 at Level A.

Hope this helps.

Always BPositive!
