  hi,

  I am using the latest version of the app with the latest version of iOS.

  There is this longstanding bug where the playback effects of the now playing screen isn’t navigable linearly using voiceover.

  to reproduce,

  1. turn on voiceover screen reader.
  2. doubletap on the icon labelled “effects” on the now playing screen
  3. expected behavior: user can navigate the screen by using one finger swipe left/right
  4. actual behaviour: icons are only reachable through explore by touch.:
