Actual Result:
While navigating the 'Activity Update' screen using swipe gesture, Talkback is not announcing the role as 'image' for the 'Matt Hidinger'. Currently it is announcing as 'Matt Hidinger.'

Expected Result:
Screen Reader should announce the role as 'Image' for the matt Hidinger image. When the focus lands on it then it should announce as 'Matt Hidinger image or graphic.'

User Impact:
It will impact the screen reader user as When TalkBack doesn’t announce the role or purpose of an image, users who are blind or visually impaired are left without crucial information. They won’t know if the image is decorative, informative, a button, or a link.
