Help needed using stickers with Facebook for IOS

Post Date:

I am a Facebook newbie.

Using the IOS app I have been able to post and share items and comment on other people’s posts. However, the sticker feature in the Facebook app is baffling me.

Can someone tell me how I can insert stickers and feelings into my posts and comments using Voiceover on my iPhone?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Help needed with calendar and reminder alerts with do not disturb on IPhone 5C

Post Date:
Hi everyone, this is my first post here. I just got my first IOS device, an iPhone 5C, the Friday before last, and it's a blast. I'm having a problem with calendar and reminder alerts, though. I'm trying to get reminders and calendar alerts to at least show up in the home screen with do not disturb on like missed phone calls and text messages do, but I'm not having much luck. I tried turning push on and setting the fetch time in Settings\Mail, Contacts, and Calendars, with no result. I also tried changing things around in Settings\Notification Center, but still nothing.

Help needed with foursquare check-ins

Post Date:
Hello, I wrote to Foursquare developers telling them the Twitter and Facebook switches not working with VoiceOver. They told me that it works just fine for them, and asked me if I have the last version installed. I have, but not the iOS one. Could you try activating or deactivating that switches from the check-in screen using iOS 7.1? I have 7.0.6 with JB, so I am not interested on updating.

help needed with garage band on iPhone eight

Post Date:

I have only tried using GarageBand on my iPhone a couple times. The problem I'm having is that despite my rotation being locked in portrait mode, every time I open GarageBand it automatically goes into landscape mode, making it really weird to try to navigate with VoiceOver. Is there anyway to fix it where it stays in portrait mode?

Help needed with group texting in iOS 7

Post Date:
I have a sighted friend who is a pastor, who recently upgraded to an iPhone 5S from an iPhone 3. He recently updated to iOS 7.1. On his iPhone 3, he could send text messages to a large group of over 160 people with no problem. Neither he or I can figure out how to do this in iOS 7. He was told that texting to a large group is currently impossible in iOS 7 due to a bug. If this is true, are there any alternatives to the built-in Messages app that would allow him to send texts to a large group? If doing this is possible in the built-in Messages app, how is it done?

Help needed with inconsistencies in text formatting in the native iOS Notes app

Post Date:

hi all, I'm currently using the notes app on an iPhone 6 using iOS 9 .2. I have noticed sometimes when I'm typing notes that it appears as plain text, or other times it will form itself in a list with numbers at the start of each line. I really don't know how I have done this, but it is quite annoying if I just want it to be a normal text, could someone tell me how I am doing this? Also apparently you can use this as a checked list so you can tick and untick items, does anyone know how to do this using voice over

help needed with True or False - Test Your Wits!

Post Date:

Hi all. Upon browsing the games section of the ap directory on applevis, I came across this nice game. I really like it. I bought the premium version for 3 dollars which takes away all the ads and gives me 15 extra lives. there is just a couple of things I have picked up. kithri who submitted the apple vis entry for this game wrote: " It also wants you to enable/accept push notifications to alert you when a new update is available". Each time I start the game, it doesn't ask me to enable push notifications. How do I enable push notifications to be alerted of new updates?

Help needed with videos in the camera app on iPhone 5C

Post Date:
I'm having a whole lot of trouble copying videos I've recorded in the Camera app to my external hard drive. If I pull up my iPhone in Windows Explorer, all my photos and videos are there, but when I try to copy them, there are 1 or 2 of them that won't copy. My PC just sits there like it's copying or trying to copy something, then it acts like it's done, but the file size on the newly copied file is 0 bytes. If I go into the photo and video viewer on my phone and trim the video, it copies fine, but I want to copy videos without having to trim them first. Please help!

Help needed with Voice Dream Reader's default voice

Post Date:

I purchased Voice Dream Reader on my iPhone 8 plus and chose the voice "Lisa" because it was free. I ended up deleting the app and Apple gave me a refund. Now, I have an iPhone XR, and I purchased VDR again and for some reason, the voice "Lisa" is still the default free voice and I cannot change that. I already deleted the backups of my previous device (iPhone 8 plus), uninstalled the app, turned off my phone for 5 mins, turned it back on, re-installed the VDR app to no avail.

help needed with voice only control of iPad

Post Date:

I’m running out of vision!
Due to AMD my vision is now very poor and everything is becoming less accessible.
Thanks so much to Apple for such wonderful accessibility Voice tools.
However with so many available and optional combinations possible I’m finding it difficult when considering how to apply them.
I’m looking for a tutorial suitable for non-technical users like me to easily customize a Voice (only) Control of their iPadOS tablet.
Any help will be much appreciated.
