iOS and iPadOS

iOS contacts: Under iOS 13.1.2, I am unable to type into the ā€œFirst Nameā€ field with Voiceover enabled using ā€œTouch Typingā€. The virtual keyboard is present, but when lifting my finger off of a character, no text is spoken and the edit field is empty. Dictation also does not enter text. I am in the process of reporting this to Apple. Experiencing this on an IPhone 10S.

If you're a verizon customer you may have gotten a text saying that all calls that could be possible spam will be silenced and automatically sent to voicemail, verizon claims this is a feature of iOS14, however they seemed to have added their own filter that is different from the spam blocker that apple added in iOS13. It appears that the one verizon added can't be disabled. and if it can has anyone figured out how to do this?

I'm just curious, why isn't the focus bug in ios14 with vo jumping around marked as serious? I would consider this a serious bug. There are personally apps that I use where it's a nightmare even trying to log in because the log in screen uses html coding. Has anyone found a work around for this?
Thanks

Hi all,
Just curious how is the ios15 performance using an IPhone8? I'm waiting on some bugs to be worked out before I update and I still have an IPhone8 so was just curious how responsive it is compared to ios14?
Thanks

I don't seem to be able to enter numbers with the number keys on a bluetooth keyboard on the IOS16 calculator app. This worked with IOS15 on my old phone as if it were entering numbers into an edit field and the return key gave the result. I have a measurement tool that connects as a keyboard and used to work with it as well.

Any suggestions, even a different "free" app that works with keyboards and gives results with the return/enter key?

Hello,
I'm not sure if anyone else has experienced this, but on the latest version of IOS, the navigate by headings option doesn't seem to work anymore. It will let me navigate down to the next heading from where ever I am, and then voiceover will just not go any further. This seems to be an issue across all apps, including the Itunes store.
Has anyone discovered a fix or work around for this behavior?

Greetings to all. May I make a suggestion? this is in o way trying to offend anyone, but how about instead of creating 1,498 different threads about iOS 16 with potential problems you are having, instead post comments on the thread that Applevis so kindly started when the operating system was released. I can't speak for everyone, but for me, I would much rather see one long thread regarding the same topic than a crazy number of posts on what amounts to the same topic, the bugs in iOS 16. Just a thought. There, I had my thought for the year; smell the ozone.

A couple nice audio features improved or introduced within iOS17. I realize they have been mentioned on other blogs/posts on Apple Vis, but I wanted to ad a few findings.

I've just upgraded to IOS6 and in general I am liking the fixes and small enhancements they've made to VoiceOver. I can finally use my phone without having to restart it every few mins due to VoiceOver crashing. Saying that, it doesn't sometimes read items in the news feed when I'm swiping through them using the facebook app. I have to swipe back again to get it to read the item. I have noticed though that my battery is draining more quickly on IOS6 than it did on IOS5. I have all the same settings. Has anyone else noticed this?

Hi all, What's happenned to iOS6 upgrade for us voiceover users. Well 4 of my apps don't work properly any more plus i've lost youtube with my favs and bookmarks. The 4 apps cost over £50 between them. The apps affected are Ariadne gps, Sendero gps both of which rely on Google maps which have also gone, Awareness the headphone app which just buzzes now and navigon which never really worked properly from the start, however is fine when vo is turned off which is no good for me.

hi there, is there any feature in IOS7 to reset all self defined text labels to improve access of e.g. bad labeled buttons to their native status? The reason I got that question is that it had happened to me yesterday that I had labeled the IoS7 standard app ā€žMusicā€œ to ā€žiTunes Playerā€œ, just for trial purpose. After that, I wanted to reset this to ā€žMusicā€œ again but that’s not possible at all. You may open the known rename dialogue and than enter what ever you like, the system denies any further access to the label you’ve renamed once.

hello, was just wondering whether anyone has encountered a a similar problem in ios7.. when entering caps lock on a bluetooth keyboard voiceover says 'caps lock off' even when it isn't. i've tried 2 keyboards andboth say the same thing...on IOS 6 it worked as it should...this is a pain since like to type with no voice feedback but have to constantly check whether caps lock is off or on, also does anyone know how to stop voiceover reading everything from the beginning that you write in text fields on webpage?

I'm having big problems replying to emails after downloading IOS7. Touching the screen changes my posision, and I can't read it or tell where I am. Anyone having this problem? I would sure appreciate any help you could offer. Thanks

Hi!
After upgrading to ios8 and when using my external apple keyboard to write a lengthy message I have noticed that voiceover echoes every character that I type. I normally have this turned off because I don't want to hear each letter spoken.
Does anybody know why this is not working? I went to settings, general, accessibility, voiceover and typing mode to turned that option to speak nothing under hardware keyboard. It is frustrating. Any ideas would be appreciated.

I just updated to IOS8 on my Ipod Touch 5G. It added new apps, which changed where old apps were located on the screen. I've been trying to move apps around into a better order, by tapping and holding, but, 9 times out of 10, when I tap and hold, VO just says "tap and hold to move" but doesn't go on to "moving" whatever. It seems to especially happen with apps that are near the dock. Is anyone else having this problem, and how do I resolve it?

Is there a way to regress to a previous IOS version?
Thanks.

Apologies if this bug is reported elsewhere, but those threads are huge! Is anyone else having problems with the new Mark As Read option in the rotor actions menu?
When I use this method to mark a mail as read, or indeed to mark an already read mail as unread, it at first appears to have worked, but it doesn't stick.If I exit the Mail app, the next time I go in, I see that the action has been reversed.
I assume it's not just me as it's happening on my old iPhone 5S, my new iPhone 6+ and my iPad, but thought I'd mention it on here.

Hi,

I upgraded my iPad 4 to iOS8 and have a weird bug. All my three finger swipes are reversed. Is this intentional or a bug? I now three finger swipe left to go left one screen as opposed to right like in iOS7. Or if I am on the Home screen, I have to three finger swipe up to go to the next screen to the right. This is off in scrolling within apps - everything is reversed or off.

Anyone else seeing this?

Is this a known bug? I have rebooted my iPhone 6 and have powered down the speakers. I do have other paired devices in the device list, but all of these devices were added to the list prior to iOS8. When bluetooth is turned on, iPhone 6 says that it is in discovery mode, my previous devices are shown, and under the heading where newly discovered devices would normally appear it simply says "in Progress".
Any thoughts or work arounds would be appreciated.

Hello all,
I just upraded my Iphone 5C to IOS 8.0.2, and I’m experiencing an annoying bug with Whatsapp. The app will often close down without a reason, mostly when I swipe one finger left or right to scroll the chats, but it also happens when I’m typing, sending a message etc, and needless to say, what I was typing gets deleted! 
Sometimes it takes me a long time before I even manage to open the chat I want.
It’s really crazy! I’ve tried reinstalling Whatsapp but the problem is still there.
