What is the expected behavior?

The purpose of each text input in the 'telephone number input control' example must be conveyed to users of screen reader software.

What is the current behavior?

The purpose of each text input in the 'telephone number input control' example is not conveyed to users of screen reader software.

What are the steps to reproduce?

  1. Using either of the following screen readers
    • NVDA 2018.4.1 + Firefox 64
    • VoiceOver for IOS (12.1.3) + Safari
  2. Open the form field example
  3. Navigate to the inputs under the 'Form field with custom telephone number input control' example.
    • In NVDA you can press the tab key until you reach an input
    • In VoiceOver for iOS you can swipe right until you reach an input
  4. Observe that the purpose of each of the 3 text inputs is not announced by the screen reader. They are announced as something like 'edit has auto complete'.

Which versions of Angular, Material, OS, TypeScript, browsers are affected?

Is there anything else we should know?
