Stickers, texts, locations, links, reactions and the like put on a story or a photo being edited are laid over it, and are picked, moved and taken off by touch alone: a tap picks one, holding it brings up its menu to delete, edit or duplicate it. A screen reader found them as views with no name and nothing to do, so once something had been put on, it could be neither told apart from the rest nor taken off. Each of them is named now by what it is, with the text of a text and the emoji of a sticker, and pressing it brings up the same menu holding it does, with Delete, Edit and Duplicate.

Problem
Stickers, text, location, links, reactions and similar items placed on a story or photo (
EntityView) are selected and edited by touch only: tap selects, long press opens Delete/Edit/Duplicate. TalkBack reads them as unlabeled views with no action.Fix
Label each item by its type, with the text of text items and the emoji of stickers. Double tap opens the same menu as long press.
Testing
With TalkBack on, add text and a sticker to a story and focus them.
Before: unlabeled. After: each reads its content, and double tap opens Delete/Edit/Duplicate.
