WhatsApp issue when playing audio messages

By Apple for all, 11 May, 2022

Forum
iOS and iPadOS

hi. when recording an audio message on watsapp, and you want to listen to the message before sending it, the play button isn't clearly labelled using VoiceOver. VoiceOver announces the button as PTT button, instead of play button. I've reported it quite a few times to watsapp, but they've not fixed it yet. is anyone else having this issue? also, when seeing how long your message is, there is a missing element when using VoiceOver, VoiceOver just makes a clicking sound.

while I don't use this

Hello. While I don't use WhatsApp, I have heard about recent issues. A nasty bug where if you play audio messages, then lock screen, the app crashes. Jonathan Mosen was talking about that on his podcast last week. Here's the suggestion he gave for getting bugs with this resolved. WhatsApp is owned by Faceboo, so, you may want to reach out to the Accessibility team there and let them know about these problems. They've got a contact form on their Fb. page, so, I'd fill it out.

An other suggestion

hi. to be honest, I've not come across the crashing issue, that must be annoying though. I've reported the issue to WhatsApp support, but the issues not been resolved yet.

hi. thanks for the email address. I did email them a while ago but they didn't fix the issue yet. maybe if other people are having the same issue, if they email them too, maybe they'll fix it quicker.
