I am an experienced iPHONE user but one thing about texting drives me crazy. Is there an easier way to do this?
Scenario: I want to send my contact card to a friend. I text the friend, saying I am attaching my contact info to this message. There's an "attach media button" but when I select it, I can only add photos or videos, not the contact card. So I add a note saying the contact card will be attached to the next text. Then I send that text.

Since upgrading to iOS 15 some time ago, I've noticed an increase in the number of calls that do not get through. In other words, someone tries to call me, but my phone never rings. Instead, I get a notification of the voice mail they leave me. When I eventually talk to the person, they claim my phone rang as usual but I never answered, when, from my perspective, the phone never rang at all.

Hi. Currently I'm using my right indext finger to type messages on the iPhone. I tend to hit the correct or neighbouring letter but I can't seem to write more than 7 words per minute. I do have Fleksi which has increased productivity and I'm typing 3 times faster but I still would like to improve my typing speed with the native keyboard. I've tried a tactile screen protector and that had slowed me down as I was concentrating on locating the dots. Can anyone recommend a method of increasing the speed of typing on the iPhone?

Hi, Is it possible to increase the volume of voice over when on a call? I can't hear voiceover currently whilst making a call.

Dear All,
After seeing the favourable reports about InDaisy in the latest applevis newsletter and on this site I downloaded the app last week. As a UK user I've discovered that it isn't that useful for me, even though I am an international member of BookShare. The major problem appears to be that InDaisy doesn't provide navigation for international users, so I find myself searching for books only to find that InDaisy keeps telling me I haven't got the rights to download the books I've searched for.

Hello to all. I have an iPhone 5 on sprint. I know we have no LTE in this area. I'm wondering how does Voice Over indicate LTE coverage? Does it say something like LTE 4 of 5 bars? I'm sure this will be of help for someone else considering an iPhone so they know how to tell if they have LTE coverage. Thank you very much.

Hi, can you set different message tones for different contacts? if so how? Can you get rid of conversation view in text messaging and have it just show single messages? thanks.

Hello everyone!
Is there anybody else who is using more than one premium voice on their iOS7 device?
For some reason, I cannot set individual speech rate parameters for each of them even though such an option is available. Baiscally, all the secondary premium voices follow the main speech rate value.
In my case, I am using Russian and Polish voices in addition to the main US voice.
Can you please confirm if yu have similar experience?
Best,
Victor

Hello,
I've been working on a way to do accurate indoor "GPS" on the iPhone and iPad, just for the challenge of it really. However, since releasing the app I've begun to wonder if I could make it useful for vision impaired users.
The app, which is called "Indoor GPS", is not suitable for vision impaired users at the moment (it doesn't even do VoiceOver properly) so I'm not suggesting anyone tries it yet.

Hey all, I'm wondering if there are any infinite runner games even remotely accessible on iOS. The only one I found is Audiorun, and frankly it gets boring pretty fast, unless it's been updated recently. I found a game that seems very fun called Parachute Stan. I've been trying to get the dev's email because with some sound positioning, the game could be, if not accessible, at least a lot more playable.

Hi All, If people use Airplay to send audio to different output devices there has been a change in how this works in Ios 11. I've found that the following works but it isn't as easy as previously. I also don't know how this would work if you don't have 3d touch. However if you do then if you open Control center as per the normal way. Then flick to you hear "media controls music" press and hold this and it opens a new menu. Flick around and you hear playback destination. Double tap this and you can choose your output.

Hi everyone, I hope you're doing well and staying safe. On macOS I can look up the status of connected USB devices by going to USB devices in system information. When I do this a list of connected devices is displayed with information about them. My question to you is this, is there a way to do this on iOS either through the settings or some other way to do it natively. Or is there an app that will give me information about devices connected to my iOS device? Thank you very much for all your help everyone kind regards tray.

hello, i have had the oppurtunity, here in the uk to trial out the focus 14 braille display, and i have a few questions please. firstly, it seems a really nice display, and once configured correctly how i want it to work with the keys in ios 11 seems very responsive. my queries are; with speech on why does my phone keep toggling quicknav on and off when navigating? also, can the dot firmness be adjusted? i find the default extremely sharp as i am a fluent braille reader, and would have expected, given that this is a mobile device that this feature would have been made available to ios.

Hi all ,
IOS provides a keyboard shortcut ′double tap space bar′ to insert a fulllstop followed by a space. This can be done in voiceover by tripple tapping the space bar, but it works only in standard typing. i could find no way to do this in touch typing modeSo wondering if there is a way to insert fullstop followed by space in touch typing. thanks.

If this has previously been asked, I apologize. Is there a way to insert a pause in a contact phone number, such as for a voicemail password? I can't seem to enter all the numbers in time. Hope this makes sense.

Hello,
I was asked by a student whether it is possible to insert your own notes in IBooks for the ipad using voice over? the student will be returning to college and this feature may be helpful. As I am not familiar with this aspect of both IBooks and voice over I figured someone on this site may have information. Thanks.

Hi. I’m using an iPhone 8 with IOS11, having moved up from a 5 and 9.3 just recently. I’m having a problem with the insertion point jumping around the screen when I’m trying to input text, which makes the actual completion of the task impossible. I switched to touch typing, but the insertion point keeps jumping around. Is anyone aware of this kind of problem and how to solve it? Thanks for your time.

Has anyone found out a way to get out of a popup offer on instacart without having to close and reopen the app? For example sometimes when I open the app it will popup with the new family sharing offer and the only way out of it is to close and reopen the instacart app.
Thanks
