Currently when you use the semantic <ins> and <del> elements, this information is not communicated to VoiceOver users. A good example is h

This works now in iOS 16.1.1 and later. Haven't tested on new macOS yet.

Tested 13.0.1 and it does not yet feature VoiceOver support for <ins> and <del>. It seems only iOS got this improvement so far.

You are correct — we had to revert a small but critical portion of this change for macOS. I will update this bug (or post a patch with a fix) when we can bring the necessary changes back safely.

With Sanoma and Safari 17, this now finally seems to be supported !
