Sometimes, you change your app's UI to offer more options as a result of a user's action. And in such cases, it might be a good idea to move VoiceOver's focus to these new options. We can do that by sending a layout changed notification.

Some of you have asked me how you can support what I do. This would really help, and would be hugely appreciated:
Find these posts useful? Share them at work, on social media, or with anyone that might find them interesting. Let's spread the word!
Check out any of my apps or games: Xarra!, RetroRapid!, or Mestre!.
A download and a review go a long way. They're free by default. On the App Store, ratings and reviews really help more people discover them.
Finding any of them useful? If so, and if you can afford it, purchasing lifetime access to all features or subscribing lets me buy the coffee that keeps me caffeinated. Caffeine keeps me going to maintain the apps, bring in new features that I hope you'll love, and keep writing.
Do you know when a UI element is greyed out to show that it is disabled? Yes, there is an accessibility trait for that too: .notEnabled. VoiceOver will say “dimmed” after its accessibility label and Voice Control and Switch Control will skip it.

Guidelines from Apple: Begin with a verb that explains the results of the action. Avoid using the imperative form of a verb because that can make it sound like a command. Don’t include the action type. Don’t include the control. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/objectivec/nsobject-swift.class/accessibilityhint
