Scroll To Bottom Fix for Screen Readers

  1. Fixes an issue where the scroll to bottom button was not clickable when the component overlapped with another element such as the chat bubble.
  2. Made the expo test app elements accessible by removing accessible from the wrapped View (which caused everything tapped with voiceover to read "main".

Explanation

Result

This fixes VoiceOver for iOS users and TalkBack for Android users, such that they can successfully tap the scroll to bottom button when it overlaps other content, and be taken to the bottom of the message list.
