The answers of a poll, a quiz and a checklist are pressed on their own, and the card around them carries nothing to open, so it answered a press with nothing at all: a screen reader is told it can press, presses, and nothing happens. A text message already comes to its menu that way. What a press on the screen does to such a card is hold it, and what holding opens is the menu of the message. So a press asks for that menu here as well, by the one path, and the menu goes on being offered by name in the place a reader looks for it. Messages that open something of their own on a press are left as they were.

Problem
Answers of polls, quizzes and checklists are pressed individually. The card itself has nothing to open, so double tapping the message did nothing with TalkBack, although it is announced as clickable. Text messages open their context menu on double tap.
Fix
In
ChatMessageCell, double tapping a poll, quiz or checklist card opens the message context menu, through the same path as a long press. Messages that open something on tap (photos, videos, voice) are unchanged, and answers are still pressed individually.Testing
With TalkBack on, swipe onto a poll card (not an answer) and double tap.
Before: nothing happened. After: the message menu opens.
