    VoiceOver will read text messages on an iPhone, including
    built-in(?) descriptions of emojis. I also tested it on some images
    I had sent in both iMessages and standard text messages, and VO
    reads what seems to be some descriptive metadata(?) about the image
    (e.g., "crisp, well-lit, [time taken]"). The fact that these were
    images I took with my iPhone may make a difference - not sure how VO
    reads images taken from other people's phones or other devices.<br>
