Hi,
On iPhone I'm experiencing situations where I cannot swipe to some elements, but I can drag my finger to get to them. This is with VoiceOver turned on. On the phone I do not have anything I can use to attempt to diagnose why this may be happening. Can anyone offer any guidance about how to look into this further?

Thanks.

Jim

If it's a website, you can connect the phone to a Mac, which will allow you to analyse the website using Safari's developer tools.

If it's a mobile app, there's nothing you can do - it's a black box.

If it's web, it sounds like aria-hidden is used on the containers. You
can try to shrink your content in your browser and explore the source
code, especially looking for presence of aria-hidden on the elements
or their parent.
