iOS and iPadOS

In the past, when I scrolled through my list of photos in the Photos app, Voiceover would give me a description of each photo.

Now that is no longer happening. Sometimes it happens sporatically, but most times not.

I have "Image Descriptions / Photos" turned on in my Voiceover settings.I have also tried turning on screen recognition for the Photos app, but that doesn't seem to help either.

Oh yes, I've also rebooted.

I am running iOS 17.5.1 on an iPhone 15 Pro.

What could be the issue? It seems this used to work in the past.

Hello to all,

Now I am not quite sure if I am hellucinating or perhaps this got changed in iOS 11.2.5, but I do recall that when in the Photos app on my iPhone, if I did a three finger single tap on either the thumbnail or after I would open a picture, VoiceOver would give me details, such as whether the picture was sharp or blurry, dim or bright or if faces were in the picture.

Now since iOS 11.2.5, when I do this, I get nothing, just hear VoiceOver say that the picture is number X of X (well for me it says Photo 52 of 54, just generalized it).

Is anybody who uses Weather Gods getting notifications? I haven't heard any in a while now. Did something change? Thanks.

What have they done to What's App, they've removed the Contacts list so if you don't have a chat window open with all your friends then you won't be able to message them anymore. I think your Contacts are now being displayed as photographs and aren't recognised by Voiceover. They say it's to make it look like Snap Chat and allow them to display adverts while you are chatting with your friends. I guess it's another app destined to be deleted from my iPhone.

Hello all,

I just bought a new iPhone 7 a month or 2 ago, and last week there was a bunch of flooding and some severe weather in my area and even though I have emergency alerts turned on I didn't get any alerts and with the amount of rain we got I should have. We had similar weather 2 years ago, and I had a different iPhone 7 at the time but I was constantly getting the alerts that almost break the eardrums when they go off. What else should I do on the phone to hopefully insure that I get alerts like this in the future?

Thanks.

Hello everyone,

Hi All, since Ios 11 I am no longer able to use Siri to post to Facebook or Twitter. In Ios 10.3.3 you could ask Siri to do this for you. Now she simply says she can't do that. No idea why this has changed. Can anyone else still do this? It was a useful feature to quickly post.

Hi all.

So I'm using an iPhone XR. My wife has an iPhone 14 Pro for work, and foolishly, she offered to let me mess with it a bit. This is because they're up for new phones this year and they have the option to buy their old one, so we're looking at it as a potential upgrade for me.

Hi,
I’ve been seeing a lot of tweets from this developer recently.

I want to try it, but don’t know if it’s accessible.

Has anyone here used this app, & could speak to its accessibility, or lack thereof?

Heya Lady's and gents.

I'm sure some of you remember list recorder, that app where you could write or record notes and sort them into different lists? This ones sadly not around anymore, so I am looking for an alternative.

What I would like to have is an app where I can write or record notes and sort them into lists, like private, work, todos, grocerys and so on.

If it has an intigration into services like Alexa or Siri this would be great to, but it's not a must have.

Hi
Wondering if Notebooks 10 has functionality that iA Writer does not offer. I have the iA Writer and thought I may buy Notebooks 10 for additional functionality.

I'm writing this mostly as a heads up for those who, like me, didn't know that if you clean out your gmail mailboxes you lose all your i-device notes that were associated with your gmail email address. I was on my macbook a while ago where its much easier to clean out gmail mailboxes than it is on iphone or ipad. And I went overboard emptying my boxes of years of messages. But then found out I had also deleted years worth of valuable notes. Thankfully I did not lose any contacts even though they too are associated with my gmail account.

I‘m looking for an app which converts hand written text using the Apple Pencil to normal digital text and which is VoiceOver friendly.
Background: I‘m fully blind using VO on my iPad and iPhone. Because I went blind later in my life I‘m capable to write hand writing. The idea is to write text with Apple Pencil in hand writing and let it convert to normal text afterwards. If the textfield was seen as a normal textfield by VO I want to use the input mode in which immediate input is possible. So it should be possible to use the Pencil while VO stays switched on.

I have been using Notesy and it has been working flawlessly for the longest time. My last sync seems to be on the 27th, and I believe at that time, I was on IOS 11. It says dropbox error. The only thing I've done was upgrade to 11 and I think I did it on that day, but don't remember. I've sent an Email to the developer, but on checking the domain, I don't think they will get the Email I sent which included some debugging info which I sent yesterday. Is there another app I can use?

HI all. on www.pcsgames.net there is also a list of accessible IPHone games. I have browsed the list of games there as well as the list of games in the ap directory at applevis and I've noticed on phil vlasak's site a couple of games that are not in the ap directory. It would be great if someone can test these games and post accessibility comments to the ap directory. One game which is not in the ap directory at applevis is Dimensions by RJDJ.

I just got my iPhone 7 yesterday and I love it!!!!
My notifications aren't going to my phone.
I only get tweets and messages and other apps like Hatchi or Diceworld don't notify me on my phone.
I have to check on my Hatchi and the only way I know it's my turn on Diceworld is because the notifications go to my iPad.
I already restarted my phone and that still didn't help.
Is anyone having this issue and is this just a bug?

I have noticed some notification problems since installing IOS 11. Anybody else have found those. Here they are: The Podcast App icon does notappear with a count button when ther is a new podcast episode available. There was a count button on the app before IOS 11. AlsoI do not have a count number button on the Mail App when I receive new emails, since downloading IOS 11.1.2.
