I was wondering if anyone had any tips and tricks to make Face ID easier and, indeed, more convenient for us blind folk to use. I understand that it probably will never compare to Touch ID, but I’d at least like to be able to get closer, if I can, to that level of accessibility, convenience and efficiency.
iOS and iPadOS

Using 12 pro and iOS 15.4. Yesterday night for some reason face ID stop working. Did restart and nothing. I reset face ID to create new face ID and nothing. Now when I go to face ID and password, face create face ID and go to start, I get message How to set up face ID, First possission your face within the phrame. Nothing happen. I setup face ID in the past but this is not working. Before camera told me to move face or whatever. Nothing now. The message does not change and the camera does not give me prumpts.

hey everyone, like I stated last night in my photos with voiceover question I got my iphone xr on friday march 1, and I got my face id set up for apple pay. my question is can you all give me some tips on how to unlock my phone with my face every time successfully with out it saying try again, especially when I go to atm's to get money or use it with apple pay in a store/ I've used this in the app store, and it's a bit tricky, but I'm slowly getting use to it and like it over the fingerprint tech apple had in the other phones.

If VO users have difficulties with FaceID or Personalize Spatial Audio enrollment, Apple Accessibility phone support can ask you to screen share and guide a user remotely which way to move device or head. I just did it out of curiosity and it was more effective and efficient than when I've done it on my own.

I just tried to add a face ID with a mask, but it didn't work. I held my arm out as far as it would go, moved it in, moved it back out again, held it until it ached, but nothing happened except for one little blip, which I thought meant I was on the right track, but then nothing more, not a word from Voiceover. Is there any other way I can get this face ID set up? I'm not ready to remove my mask yet, so I really wanted this.

Hello, I'm interested in experiences with Face ID On iPhone for people with prosthetic eyes. I've read Apple's page on the subject but I'd be more interested in the real world experience of using this technology. Do you have to turn off the "attention" setting to make it work effectively?
I understand that the current use of masks would also affect its use but I would be keen to hear from anyone who has had good or bad experiences.
Thanks.

Hi
Given the recent news on the iPhone front, I'm curious to know how face ID will work for blind people, particularly the part about looking at the iPhone. Do any of you use facial recognition apps? What are your thoughts?
Given Apple's track record in accessibility, I'm sure they've got it figured out. I'm just curious about people's experiences.

Hi. Subject line pretty much tells the story but i'll clarify a bit. When I first got my iPod touch back in March I was able to use iMessage, and face time occasionally when someone called me using that. I noticed that it hadn't been working lately so I opened up the iMessage app and was met with the welcome screen, asking me to sign in using my apple ID and password, which I did. I clicked next and was met with another screen asking me if that was the email address I wanted to use, which it was.

I have a problem with facebook. When I go through the headings and posts it keeps jumping up to the menu bar very frequently. Does anyone have any solutions to this problem? Does this have to do with curser wrapping or tracking?

Hi everyone,

Will the latest Facebook updating version 6.5 work with VO? For me and other users it doesn't work. Specially under notifications it jsut sounds klick....klick...klick when I'm swiping over the screen. How will this version work for us do you think or have any tips?
I had updated Facebook 6.4 istead yesterday and it works so much better. But what can you do for version 6.5?

Hi all
The latest facebook update on IOS has completely broken accessibility for voice over. I am currently using IOS 18.4 Beta two, and my facebook app was working fine until I updated to the latest version. You can no longer even paste any composed text on the edit box.

Would someone please describe the steps to follow in order to get BeMyEyes to describe an image from the Facebook app on my iPhone. The share link on Facebook isn't the same as in other apps. It doesn't bring up the normal share sheet. How do you send a specific image from Facebook to BeMyEyes?

Hi,
I’m wondering if I'm the only one experiencing this, as I haven’t read about it anywhere. The problem has been occurring for many months. I’ve reported it to the FB team as well, but as is often the case with them, there has been no response.
If any post has a link preview, VoiceOver is completely silent on that element.
If you are experiencing this too, maybe we can launch a collective effort to address it, as it is extremely inconvenient.

As of today's updates to both these apps, has anyone else's notifications completely stopped working? I'll probably uninstall and reinstall to see if that makes a difference, but was curious if it's something anyone else has noticed. Notifications were working fine yesterday, but after I updated both apps this morning, none work. I've checked notifications settings, and nothing has changed. This is on an iPhone 5 running the latest update of iOS 7.

I'm just wondering about the following.
If in in addition to using Facebook in the normal way, I'm also administering a business page, does anyone here know if I get the appropriate choices when selecting post to Facebook, from notification centre, either on Mac, or iPhone? if this is able to be done? In other words, would I get the choice to post as my page, rather than posting as me personally?
Thanks in advance for reading this.

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.
