Not sure if anyone has answered this question yet. I contacted Apple Support 
specifically about this issue, and they confirmed that it is a problem with the 
new iOS 26 update and VoiceOver. Visually, the badge number does appear, but 
VoiceOver does not verbalize it. Apple is aware of the issue and stated that it 
will be corrected in a future iOS update.

has anyone heard why outside of the phone app it will show the number of items 
but once opened it doesn’t show which tab the item is in?

HI,
 
I got into a situation where favorites said calls and there was a filter button 
so I double tapped on Classic an things went back to normal with favorites 
being in the lower left and voicemail on the lower right; otherwise search was 
on the lower right! Too much customization if you ask me but no one did so what 
can I say?

On my 16 pro with iOS 26.1 my tabs in the phone app are: Favorites, Recents, 
Contacts, keypad, and VoiceMail. When I was on 26, it seemed like it said there 
were 6 tabs, but there never was a sixth tab. Sometimes, the recents said 
Calls, instead of recents. But it has been pretty normal for me.
Have you rebooted the phone?
And I assume you are not on a beta.
If this keeps up, I'd contact Apple Accessibility.

26.1. How can I fix that, please?
Thanks!
