I recently tried to join the speakers in a Twitter space from my iPhone X. This is what happened, and I'm wondering if anyone has seen or could explain this, so I can be more prepared for my next attempt. In summary, I wonder if I was removed (likely an accident) or if Twitter experienced a technical glitch (I was told by the host that it was some sort of technical error); and for both of those and any other case, if the VO crash could have been the result of a popup dialog that didn't speak, as can briefly happen for emergency alerts in my experience. I am using the native iOS Twitter app.
The sequence of events: I joined the space and listened for a while. I double-tapped Request to Speak and got a popup dialog advising me that the space might be recorded. This dialog contained another Request to Speak button. I doubled tapped this new button. I believe things were normal for a few seconds thereafter. Then the volume of the space suddenly decreased markedly, so I tried to turn up my phone's volume. This made me wonder if I was audible, though I was not expecting to be since the host asked us to raise hands after pressing Request to Speak, and I had yet to find a button for that. A few seconds later, all sound on my phone stopped, including the space and VoiceOver speech. This lasted for close to a minute if I recall correctly. During this outage, I made a few attempts to restart VO using the triple press of the power button. This finally succeeded. On getting VO back, I found myself no longer in the space. Attempts to rejoin, before and after I restarted the Twitter app, were met with a message saying "This space is not available." This even persisted after the host once DM'd me saying "Try again now." The host finally told me I might not be able to join that session again, which appeared to be true. The comment about it being a "technical error" came to me much later. Again, my main questions are whether anyone has seen this sort of freeze and whether it is likely the result of a popup dialog that I could not read.
