Hi:
I heard that Facebook and Twitter are no longer in IOS 11. What apps do people use for these applications? Does Twitterrific still work? What is the best Facebook app? Thanks.

Using IOS 9.0.2 on Iphone 5S with Voice over...
In the Facebook app, when I want to look at someone's timeline posts, the swipe forward and back gestures completely skip their posts, except for the most recent one sometimes. Skips from profile info down to "Newsfeed" button. This even happens when I want to look at my own timeline posts.
Also, when I want to read coments on posts, the swipe gestures skip from the Share button down to the Write Comment field. In this case, I can sometimes tap around and find one comment, but there's no consistency.

Hello everyone.
After viewing the apps directory on here, I have seen people recommending various facebook apps,and different comments about the accessibility of the facebook app.
My question is, which is the most accessible facebook app for IOS? I'd rather not use 3 to 4 apps just to do simple things,though.
And which twitter app would you guys recommend for basic tweeting and viewing tweets?
I don't muck about with facebook and twitter and such,however recently I have been getting bored and it seems like most everyone is on facebook,so why not recreate my account and give it a go.
Thanks.

Hi.
I just noticed that the Facebook App appears to be fixed. It is now possible to like posts which have not been liked by someone else before, and it is also possible to post comments to postings which have not been commented by someone else.
I don't know when this was fixed exactly, but it now works as a charm.
From my point of view, the Facebook app is now almost as useable as the mobile web interface used to be on my Symbian based phone.
Just wanted to let you know in case you missed this improvement.
CYa,
Mario

I used to be able to watch videos in the video feed. When I double tap on the video channels it no longer plays the videos.

Facebook Crashs while inuse after updating iOS 10.1 anyone experience the same problem?
Post Date:
I follow lots of publications on Facebook (NPR, Rolling Stone, Forbes, etc) that frequently post articles to the feed. Lately if such a source shares several articles in a short period of time, Facebook groups them into one item that VoiceOver announces as something like, "Rolling Stone shared 15 updates." Double tapping on this does nothing, but I can't single finger swipe up or down to get to the "view 14 more" action, and activating this takes you into the cluster of posts where you can read through and interact with them as normal.

Hello all,
Yesterday I changed my primary email on Facebook as well I changed my password. Now no matter what I do I am unable to sign in to the facebook app on my iPhone. I have powered off and on my phone. I have even uninstalled and reinstalled the app. I know i am putting in my information correctly. When I use my information on the browser on my PC I can log in just fine. What can I do to try and fix this problem? Thanks for any suggestions.

Hey everyone. I can't figure out why this happens, so i'd really like some answers if you have them. I was on Facebook, and I double tapped on something. After that, it said the item was selected. Swiping around, I found Hide this from newsfeed, unfollow, name of person, I don't want to see this. Now, I close then relaunch the app to dismiss this, but my question is how do I get rid of that dialog? I didn't want to say I din't want to see this, in case it blocked family or friends that yes, I didn't mind the poster. Anyway if this makes sense or you know how to help, please advise. Thanks.

Hey. I would like to rant about the Facebook app. First of all, when new updates come out, it doesn't tell you what's new. It just says, "Thanks for using Facebook," and other stuff. We have to learn about what's new in the app. Also, there is new bugs in the app. Still, I can't switch cameras before starting a livestream. It is stuck on rear camera active. If you have any comments, comment down below. There is a blind engineer working at Facebook. Come on!!!!!!!! Fix the app.

Hello all,
Besides vo saying product after each post which we all know about I am having an issue where I'll be scrolling through my newsfeed and all of the sudden I will be back at the top of my newsfeed again. Anyone else having this issue or know of a fix?
Thanks.

Hi. I was browsing the facebook appfor a while. The native facebook app is somewhat accessible. The only problem I think everyone is agreeing on is that the friends part of the app is not accessible. When you flick or swipe left or right after double tapping on the friends icon in the launcher, voiceOver doesn't speak any of your friend's names. It makes the click sounds but nothing speaks. This can be a problem when you have over 200+ friends. I contacted the facebook help team but they didn't resolve the issue. I don't know what to do.

Hi all!
I'm running the latest version of the Fb. act. My question is how to find the birthdays. I'm looking in my events & don't see them on my calendar. How can I see my birthdays?
I don't even see a tab in the events section for them. Thanks in advance!

Hey all!
First off, I'd like to wish you all a happy new year! I hope you all have a wonderful 2020!
I have a question about Facebook birthdays. I went to find them in the events section, & I cannot find them. I've looked everywhere I could think to look, & still can't find them. Usually I get them through notifications, but I decided to take care of them before I went to bed. Can you please tell me where they are (if they're even still there)? Thanks in advance!

Hello,
I don't remember if this issue has already been discussed here, but I am noticing that visually impaired people in my Facebook contacts, are missing information I publish from my personal web site, on my profile and Facebook page, because my posts are intercepted as blank lines not even clickable.
This happens when posts are external link pointing to my WordPress site.
Do you please have any suggestion for a work-around for this issue?

Has anybody noticed Facebook has dictation issues when composing comments where it duplicates your phrases and puts them randomly places causing your comment to be very messy and your friends to have a wow reaction? I know I have. It’s quite annoying and I would like to learn how to become a beta tester so I can bring this to Facebook attention
