Bug description
As a Voice Over user,
When I focus the action buttons of the toolbar for a message with attachment,
The buttons are vocalized "button" without any details about their feature
Steps to reproduce
- Start the app
- Select a thread
- Attach an image
- Run Voice Over on the view
Actual result: Toolbar buttons for crop, annotations etc are vocalized "buttons"
Expected result: Buttons must have at least an accessible label bringing meanings
