Hi everyone, hope you're doing well and staying safe 😊 Sometimes I run Google Maps on iOS to give my friends help with turn-by-turn navigation whilst driving. As you know, it is supposed to speak the turn-by-turn navigation in a separate voice from VoiceOver. I have found that it hardly speaks the turn-by-turn navigation or speaks it intermittently whilst VoiceOver is running. Has anyone else noticed this behavior? Does anyone have a workaround or resolution for this issue? Thank you very much everyone. 😊

Hi everyone, hope you're doing well and staying safe. I have an iPhone 15 pro currently running the latest version of iOS. I'm running into a strange situation with Google Maps and I'm wondering if anybody has any insight or can help me please.

If i look for an address on Google maps, is there a way to add the resulting info to my contacts on the iPhone? I'll give the perfect example. I looked up the post office. Google maps found it right away, and I could see the address and phone number. I'd like to have that in my contacts on IOS. Is there some way to do this so that I don't have to search for it over and over again, or manually find some way to copy and paste all that? the name would be auto filled in and everything would just be there. i hit done and boom. its in my contacts.

Just started using Google maps and is signed in through google email. This might be a silly question but I can't find how to understand my location. Other GPS apps usually have this button.

Hi all,
I can't get Google now/maps to narrate directions. I have followed the instructions such as tap and hold the mode transit icon with voice over on or off. Am I missing some thing in the settings menu to turn it on?

I just got my new iPhone a few days ago and was hoping to bring over the few Google books I have purchased. The Google Play Books app claims Voiceover compatibility, but I can't figure out any way to turn pages. Everything seems to read well enough, though the small amount of material on each page and all the clicks are a little annoying. Before i submit a less than favorable review of the app, I wondered if anyone might be using this app with more success. Turning the pages is kind of important.

When trying to read an e-Book on the Play Books app on my iPhone, I do the two finger swipe down for continuous reading. However, Voice Over stops reading at the end of the page and I need to manually move to the next page with a three finger swipe left and then swipe down with two fingers to restart reading. Unlike with the Kindle app where pages are turned automatically and continuous reading is uninterrupted. Is there a way to have pages turned automatically in the Play Books for uninterrupted reading? Thanks. Barbara

I use the I phone 4s, and I have the Google plus app on my phone and I'm having trouble figuring out where the add to circles button is and when I click on that button once I find it I have no indication that the button has been clicked after the tapping sound.
Is there anyway to have this fixed?

Where can i find my notifications on the google plus app? It seems that i have a couple of notifications, but i dont know where to find them, as a few buttons are not labelled. Any help would be much appreciated!
Google should seriously do something to make their apps more accessable!

For the last week I have been using the google podcast player. It is much easier to navigate then the IOS native app. The issues I have found with it so far are: the search button tries to hide on the top of the page, and oddly enough sometimes all available episodes are not listed. It's now my preferred app for podcasts.

Hello, All.
I just read a post about the lack of accessibility in the Google Maps app. I would simply like to jump on the Google bandwagon to ask why they have neglected to lable most of the buttons in the Google Search app. Granted, I love the app and use it more than I do Siri for searches, but most of the buttons are unlabled. this really is inexcusable. I hope Google is not operating under the notion that labeling the "Voice Search" is sufficient for people who are blind with regard to accessibility for people who are blind or have low vision.

Hi,
Has anyone used google search app? It says you can do reminders and stuff on the iphone, but when I try it just populates the search field? I like google search better then Siri as Siri never will set any location reminders on ios 7.04.

I have an iPhone 6 Plus with IOS 9.3, the latest update. When using VoiceOver through a bluetooth earphone, the sound reverts to the iPhone speaker when I launch the Google search or Google maps apps. This behavior is not new to the latest IOS update, it's been happening to me for some time. Am I missing some setting for the Google apps? Is there a procedure to follow to allow me to continue to hear VO over my bluetooth earphone when I launch these Google apps?
Thanks.

Since updating from IOS 13 to IOS 14.5 I have noticed that google search results don't seem to be marked with h3 tags. The first one in a group will be marked with a heading, but subsequent results show up as links. Tried reporting this to google but they sent me to apple. Any one know of a fix for this? Not being able to scroll through search results efficiently is a pretty big inconvenience.

Hello all, just wondering if anyone’s having this problem. I am currently running the latest software update and I have the iPhone XR. When I go to do a Google search, the word appears in the box but it is not telling me that the word is appearing in the box. This is when using voice over. For example, if I type in the word girl, it is not telling me that this word is appearing in the box. I hope this makes sense. If anyone else is having this problem please let me know.

I've been playing around with the Google Sheets iOS app, and I'm actually pretty impressed with its compatability with VoiceOver. If only the desktop version worked this smoothly ... anyway, I was wondering if anyone would happen to know whether it's possible to manually highlight two or more cells at a time. So far I've only been able to work with multiple cells by selecting an entire row or column, but is there a way I could, for example, highlight cells a3 through a5?

Is there a guide out there to accomplish editing a google slides presentation using VoiceOver? Students in our state are being asked to do this.
Thank you.

Good evening
I'm having a problem with the Google Translate app on my iPhone 8+: When I write text in the text area, I can't create a new line. The on screen keyboard does not have a "return" option to double tap. When I press Enter on a bluetooth keyboard, the text I just composed is read. Double tap to edit it doesn't work either.
