  • Voice Control is a brand new feature on iOS that lets you interact with on-screen elements using your voice (like Dragon NaturallySpeaking for Windows). It overlays numbers or labels on clickable elements – users can then say things like “Tap 1” to click the first control on the screen. These overlays have a useful side effect: they make it easy to test the focus order of elements in the page. Other changes include a new system-wide standard for enabling or disabling autoplay video in apps. Finally, iOS 13.2 comes with a number of VoiceOver bug fixes, but introduces some bugs too.
