iOS and iPadOS

Hi all,
So, I use an app called AnyTrans because I like to have a backup of my IOS texts on my laptop (I'm far too inexperienced with Mac to buy a Mac computer), but sometimes AnyTrans fails me. In that case I have to select each message and copy each one and then paste it into a new email address I write to myself JUST so i can access it on my laptop. THE MOST ANNOYING THING IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!

Hi all,

Hi all,
I've been searching on how to switch the address bar back to the top in safari, because the address bar at the top... is what i've been used to for years now. While I like the new safari, the address bar at beeing on the bottom is kinda... putting me off, to say the least. How can we as voiceover users change this? Or is this not possible? I've looked at other forums which say that this is possible and how; but I cannot figure it out with voiceover.

Just installed 15.0.1 iOS. Going into my wallet in which I have one card, when I flick to the right as soon as it says ad card it jumps out of the app back to the home screen. Is this A known bug or does anybody else find this problem?

Hi

I upgraded to iOS 15.1 yesterday evening and I’m getting an odd issue. Wondering if anybody else is seeing this and if there’s a fix.

When my iPhone (SE 2020 edition), rebooted after the upgrade, I got the following message:

Messages in iCloud not available. Messages in iCloud is not available because iCloud and message accounts are different.

When I go into the iCloud settings, Messages is turned off in my backup settings. When I turn it on again, I get the same message as above and I can’t turn the message backup setting on.

hi, what are your experience with IOS 15.4?
for me, vo sometimes says dictate when doing some stuff.

Hi all,

From what I understand and from what I saw from watching videos about the feature, you can basically add your meds umanually, as in entering all the details by yourself, or scanning the label on the medication using the camera.
If you decide to fill in the details manually, then you'll get an search box where you can type the name of the medication and see the search results so you can pick the one you're using.
After then you pick the strength etc.

I've seen that AppleVis has made a fairly favorable review of new accessibility features in iOS 16.

However at the same time AppleVis has retweeted the tweet of the developer of one well-known app who claims that text-to-speech in iOS 16 is unusable (literary that word). He further explains that this comes from highlighting issues.

Those two things appear to be quite in conflict so I'll try to explain this from the technical side as I am also a developer of one such app.

Hi everyone, suddenly VoiceOver started saying "Label element" every time I open any window in iOS 16. For example, opening Settings now VoiceOver says "Label element, Settings, heading". I opened the label element screen by mistake, and now it is as if VoiceOver sees the title of that screen, which however is no longer on the screen. I tried to restore settings without success, what can be done apart from restoring the entire device?

Why does App switcher not work with the latest upgrade to iOS 16 can anyone help fix this?
Also mail says no unread messages. However, there can be many unread messages when you open mail
Does anyone know a fix for this? thank you

Hi guys.
Has anyone had any success with dictation in iOS 16? whilst actually dictating works just fine I can’t access the on-screen keyboard which was one of the new big features whilst dictating. Am I missing anything?
This seems to apply to Siri as well, VoiceOver doesn’t seem to be able to access the Siri interface whilst speaking with Siri.
any thoughts?

For reasons I can't begin to guess, iOs 16 has taken it upon itself to re-sort several of my playlists. I would very much like to get the songs back into the order in which I had them. Is there a way to do this? I've read that there is a new Sort option that one accesses by tapping three dots at the top of the playlist, but I do not see those three dots. Neither tapping More nor Edit bring up this purported sorting option. Moreover, whereas you used to be able to drag songs to where you wanted them, that doesn't even seem to work anymore.

Hi all, hope you’re well. A big thank you to those who helped me with my last post. I have an iPhone 12 mini 250 6GB, yesterday I updated to iOS 16. Ever since then I've been having some strange issues with Notification Centre and Control Centre. The swipe up and swipe down gestures to access notifications and Control Centre no longer work. Also in iOS 15 double tapping on any notification used to take me to its corresponding app for example I could tap on a WhatsApp notification and be taken into WhatsApp.

I just got an Ios16 iphone SE. I haven't heard many good things about ios 17. Those who updated to ios17 do you prefer it over ios16? Does it have fewer bugs? Did you regret upgrading? My main focus is stability and fewer bugs not new features.
Thank you very much

Hi all!
Truth is that I am terrified to update from iOS 15 to iOS 16. Of course I know I will eventually take that step into the unknown, but is this the right time to do so?
I have read too many posts on this website that are expressing complaints about iOS 16, thus I am afraid to lose some of what I already have. for example, I would be quite annoyed if the quality of the VO voices is degraded, or if some of my apps stop working. there are also countless other things that could go wrong, which I haven’t even thought about.

Hello,
So ever since I updated to iOS 16, I have been getting this extremely annoying issue.
The issue usually happens when using stereo mode, that being the bottom mic is the left channel and the back mic is the right channel. Whenever this is activated for me, VoiceOver, and the phone in general, are rendered entirely useless. You have to hope that it eventually works itself out, or desperately try to figure out how to make your phone responsive again.

Hello, I am translating this message from Turkish to English. I started using iOS 16 version. In iOS 15, I was able to use text recognition on the screenshot I took. If I tapped once in the middle of the screen and swiped my finger to the left, the recognized text would be spoken throughout. Currently, for iOS 16, this does not work. When I touch the middle of the screen and slide my finger to the left, Detected Lift subject says. I have no clue what this is. How is the situation on your phone?

I have reported this to Apple, but noticed in the main post about iOS 16, that others only see the application switcher bug when invert colors is enabled. On my iPhone 13 mini when voiceover is on, I cannot open the app switcher even though I have turned off both invert colors and dark mode. Is anyone else still seeing the app switcher bug even with invert colors and dark mode both turned off and voiceover on?

The noise is only there when VoiceOver is turned on, I could not get the power-off sound to play with VoiceOver off. Furthermore, the device has to not be on mute.
But it seems iOS 16.1 has a feature for the blind, so we know when our phones are turning off. There's no power-on sound effect however, either with or without VO--at least not on my iPhone 13.

Can anyone else confirm?
I’m using an iPhone 13, running iOS 16.1. Issue:
When recording with voice memos, with an external input device connected to the lightning connector, such as the smart, AMBIO headset, when the iPhone locks, you are not able to read the lock screen with voiceover, you are only able to read the status bar.
You are unable to bring up the pass code option to unlock the device.
This doesn’t seem to happen if you don’t have a third-party input device connected.
