I am looking for guidance on navigating books on the kindle iPhone app.

I have not used the kindle app on my iPhone for at least 3 years. Back then I do not remember having any access issues with the kindle app.

I just downloaded a book today. When I opened the book all I got was a message that said “image”. I tapped on the screen and I got options like copy, notes, ets. The only way I could get out of that screen was to go line by line to the bottom of the section.

Hello, I was wondering if anyone out there knows of any directory assistance applications for the IPhone? I would cut the cord with my local land line carrier, but I like the use of directory assistance with this land line. If I could find an application out there, I might be able to get rid of this expense all together! Any information anyone could share would be greatly appreciated! Thank you. -Andrew-

So, I just got DirecTV and I’ve a few questions about the app.

1. Is it accessible?

2. Is there a way to get Audio Description for shows? If so, how?

3. Is the remote part of it accessible and can you set Audio Description on your actual TV using the remote portion of the app? If so, how?

Hello Applevis comunity, I need your help, Directv’s iPhone app is not accessible to Voiceover users, and Directv has not been willing to listen to my concerns. Here is the emails that have been exchanged, and my call to action. Thank you. I received a call in response to my email from DIRECTV’s office of the president this afternoon (Sunday). The woman explained to me that she “had someone in her office test the app with Voiceover” and that it worked just fine.

you know how in iOS, App icons have badges, where they will say things like 10 items, 11 items, etc.? I know that if I go under notification and control center settings, I can disable badges on an app per app basis, but is it possible to globally disable badges a crossed all installed apps? I don't want to disable push notifications altogether, I simply just don't want any of my apps to show a badge count. I am an extremely advanced iOS user, and I don't recall seeing the setting anywhere.

Warning: I'm a complete technophobe and am probably asking seriously dumb questions and am probably posting in completely the wrong forum!!

My son has managed to damage his iPod 5 by sitting on it and the Home button is now not working properly. He's managed to use an 'onscreen' home button, but the original button often thinks it's being held down permanently, so voice control keeps activating.

I've looked for tips to disable and am told to go on General>Turn passcode on>voice control, but there's no voice control button.

Hello friends,

I was browsing my facebook and text messages recently and realized that most of my friends were sending me messages with lots of emoticons attached to it.

Now although i know, emoticons and punctuations are a good way of expressing oneself,i was wondering if there was a way to disable voiceover from reading emoticons and punctuations;so i would be able to read just the text instead.

Was just wondering if this was possible.
If it were possible? How could i do it?
Thanks
Arvind

HelloI know that eventually I will have to upgrade from my iphone 6 s. One thing I really like about touch id is the ability to quickly authenticate with apps without having to enter my pass words. If I disable attention mode, will I still be able to use face id to quickly authenticate into apps?

I am wondering if there is a way to temporarily disable the headset mike, using the phone's microphone instead. I find that in certain apps, like recording apps, I prefer using the phone's mike, because it sounds a bit better to me. Also, I use a hearing aid app, and that doesn't work very well with the headset mike, but if I could set it to use the phone's mike I could poart it at certain sound sources instead of being the main one myself.

Hi all. This happens with the mail app or on the Mac. I have certain addresses in gmail, that somehow don't show up. Such as groupon goods and the old entombed game. I hear the chime, if I'm lucky I'll catch what it says. If not, the message is gone. No notification, no message, I can't figure it out. I've searched the gmail app itself, nothing. If anyone has experienced this or can help, please because it's making me crazy. Oh, I wasn't already? ;)

Hello all.
I have recently migrated from an iPhone SE original to an iPhone 13 mini and I'm encountering an annoyance with the safari toolbar.
I prefer the address bar to be at the top of the screen so I have changed Safari's settings to single tab mode. It seems that with this setup Safari's toolbar disappears on many web pages. I can make it reappear by double tapping the status bar at the top of the screen.
Is there any way to prevent the toolbar from disappearing?
Thanks for any help.

There is a bug that Apple hasn't been able to fix. Ever since the first iOS 13.0 release, Siri (male or female) will work with VoiceOver and Spoken Content services for a while but eventually crashes. Once Siri's voice crashes, Spoken Content features stop working; VoiceOver at least has the decency to fallback to Samantha. Siri voices will then appear on the list as if they aren't downloaded. Sometimes you can even redownload them and have the working again for a little bit, but they'll eventually crash and stop working again.

I've noticed a few times that my status bar will become silent when touching the top of the screen. No time, battery, wi-fi or other information is spoken. Restarting VO does nothing. The only way I've been able to get the text to read again is to power cycle the phone.

As for what causes the status bar to go silent, I can't repeat this, however I do notice this occurring after fAceTime calls or phone calls.

Does anyone else have this issue?

I don't know about you but accessibility has really gone down hill with the ring app and voiceover, however on my fire tablet ring works just fine like it once did on IOS. What happened? I sent them an email letting them know. Hopefully since amazon has bought ring they will fix this! Other than that I love the ring doorbell!

Hello Apple users, Koushik from India have been using iPhone from four years. Now my current device is iPhone 14 Pro Max, I’m really disappointed with auto language detection, especially Indian languages that too special mention towards South Indian regional languages. even though we added voices on router, but we can’t able to still Read any South Indian regional documentation. Automatically. I am posting here at the hope where it reaches to the Apple community. thank you.

I am very disappointed that Apple has not fixed this very long standing bug whereby VoiceOver keeps jumping to the top of the page when trying to read News articles in Apple's own News app.

This bug has been around for the last many builds, has been reported to Apple by lots of VO users, and is extremely frustrating!

Please all continue to write to Apple support and complain about this bug that makes it almost impossible to read news stories with VoiceOver!

Thanks.

Hi all. I had suggested an emoji search podcast a few days back. Since no one has taken me up on it, I have done a little research and here's what I found. The interface is cumbersome at best. Once in the emoji keyboard, you have the search field on top of your currently used ones. I found you have to write your term, find it, double tap, go back to the keyboard and hit space for the emoji to be inserted. for me, i wish they had used pickers as I find them easier and quicker to swipe through. Maybe I expected to much out of emoji.

It's with a heavy heart today that we're announcing the discontinuation of our award-winning iPhone keyboard.

Apple has thrown us obstacle after obstacle for years while we try to provide an app to improve people's lives, and we can no longer endure their abuse.

Read more about our announcement here, and thank you to everyone who has supported us over the years.

Does discord have an accessibility department that I can contact?
Discord is great with voiceover on iOS, but I’m having a problem and I’m not sure if this is a bug.
I’m trying to leave a server using voice over, but when I double tap on that option nothing happens.
