Yes, or you can flick left and back to the right since I have always had 
Voiceover speak everything when I was going to the right, but why not make this 
small change and it's fixed unless of course you have a good reason why you 
don't want to turn off Reduce Motion.

An alternative is just to tap the screen when VoiceOver merely says "Active", 
because then VoiceOver does speak the name of the app.

Fix for the issue with Voiceover not saying the name of some apps in the App Switcher

2021-09-28 Thread Sieghard Weitzel 
I received a tip on another list regarding the issue where when you bring up 
the app switcher and flick left through your open apps Voiceover only says 
"Active, actions available" or something like that but it doesn't first say the 
name of the app you are on. I think on Applevis it said that it affects only 
some users and that would make sense because it seems the solution here is to 
turn off Reduced Motion and I assume some people may not have turned this 
setting on to begin with hence they probably don't have the issue.
For me on my iPhone 11 turning off Reduced Motion entirely fixed this and I 
must say that I can't notice much of a difference in other areas not having 
this on. I think I turned it on many years ago because when this option was 
first available there was a different issue and it made sense for voiceover 
users to turn Reduced Motion on, but I'm not sure if this is still even a 
concern.
Anyways, if you have this problem with Voiceover in the app switcher, just go 
to Settings > Accessibility > Motion (the fourth item if you flick from the 
top) and check if Reduced Motion is on, if so turn it off and I am pretty 
certain your app switcher will work just fine.

Best regards,
Sieghard
