This is a great find! I prefer learning from documentation rather than podcasts. Though the Applevis podcasts are great, for me, I often have questions a podcast doesn't answer.
And some documentation online isn't much better. They have a firm grasp in the obvious: "go to settings to change your preferences" or "press the add item button to add a new item".

I know this is late, but I didn't have a lot of time to work with it last week. For those of us who were already using Workflow, and might not have had a lot of time to play, here are the differences I've noticed between that and Shortcuts
You can now use the drag and drop commands in the rotor to reorder shortcuts in your library. Also, if your shortcut accepts input, and you're using an iPad, you can drop things onto a shortcut and have it run with what you dropped as input.

I am trying to figure out an issue for a coworker. Their Hey Siri has stopped functioning. They are running iOS11.3.1. So far we have tried rebooting the device as well as turning the feature off and back on, which required a re-training for Hey Siri. Any other suggestions of why the feature has stopped working. I personally don't use it and admit I'm a bit at a loss myself, but I'm sure others here do. Here's to hoping someone has a tip or trick my team and I have not yet though of.
Thanks.

My friend has a 6S and she's still running iOS 12. When she wants to read a text message with hey siri on the lock screne, it says you'll need to unlock your iPhone first. She went into notifications and then into messages and the setting was set to show previews always default but she's still having the same issue. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello all:
I have an Iphone 13 that has just 5 gb of icloud storage,
When i need to backup this iphone it told me that this is not enough free storage on icloud to backup this iphone,
but the Icloud storage is near empty, so, why this iphone can not be backed up?
56 mb of 5 GB used, , and my backup is just 35 mb, so, why?
all we need to backup is just contacts, calendar and so on, no photos videos etc.
all things are off.
are there some hidden things on icloud that can not be seen?

Is there a way to hide the book controls? When using a Braille display, I'm getting a lot of "actions available" messages. Thanks.

Hey guys, I know this sounds silly, but how exactly do you hide the keyboard on an iPhone 12? I tried to close the keyboard on Facebook messenger, but every time I open up a chat, the keyboard opens up automatically. I don’t know how to close it without backing out of the chat altogether. And with other apps, it either goes away because I’m entering in a search field, but if I’m in a chat or something, like a text field an app such as iMessage or any other text field that does not go away when i press return, it just will not go away.

Hi,
I have posted this on the iOS forum, but I didn't get the response I needed. I want to hide previously purchased apps using my windows laptop as that is my main laptop using JAWS 14, with the latest build. Is it possible to do this? If so, how do I do this using the keyboard entirely?
Thanks

Good afternoon,
After upgrading to IOS9, the high quality language voices that I had got set back to default quality. I have been trying to get them back, but haven't had any luck. How can I get the high quality voices like Karen (English Australian) and Kanya (Thai) back?

Hi, All,
Saturday afternoon I picked up my iPod Toch to do something and i noticed that Samantha was sounding really strange and not good.
I immediately went into the VoiceOver settings and noticed that there was now a compact voice button where there had not been one for the prior three days.
I turned the compact voice back on and, very strangely, Samantha was sounding really good again, like she always had been.
I don't know what's with that but I just thought I'd report this experience. No way will I use that high quality voice. When I try it, it's sound is grainy and underwatery.

I came across an app for creating/sharing digital business cards called HiHello. I was able to create a basic card with my contact details and a photo of me but hit a problem when trying to share the card by e-mail. That part seems inaccessible and I got a sighted person to do it for me. I'm wondering whether anyone here would be interested in trying the app and seeing how you get on with it? I'm writing to the developer to encourage them to improve the accessibility and hope that, if others here are interested in the app too and express an interest to them, that would help.

I'm based in the UK and my heating supplier is wanting me to change to Hive Active Heating claiming it's the only accessible program system now available on the market for visually impaired people.. They claim the app is totally accessible for voice-over users but I'd rather get visually impaired comments on how easy it is rather than those of sighted engineeers. So, if anyone has a HIVE timer system for their heating and water, I'd be interested to hear your comments on how easy or not it is to operate.
Many thanks

So I went to edit my heating schedule this morning in the Hive app. It’s summer so I only really need it to heat the water.
Lo and behold I find they’ve broken accessibility again. On the thermostat screen, the control, schedule and actions tabs are now wrapped in a single VoiceOver element. Selecting this appears to take you to the schedule at least, though it does not appear possible to get to the actions tab.
On the schedule tab, it now speaks the time slots, but not what temperature that time slot is set to.
