iOS and iPadOS

I use screen time, more importantly the vulgar language filter within screen time. This has been working very well for me until tonight. I have just found out as of about five minutes ago, that if I am typing using BSI, and I happen to type a vulgar word, the chat filter will ignore it, and it will get posted just as if I turned that feature off.

Has anybody else noticed this? Is there any way to add BSI, or braille in general, to the screen time language filter?

TIA.

About a month ago, downcast began exhibiting odd behavior: it quit whenever you attempted to stream a podcast episode. this bug is still present, although somewhat better with latest release of iOS.

However, there is another oddness: the app now displays itself on the home screen as "mail". In settings under "storage and iCloud" it is still listed as "downcast". When you start the app, VoiceOver announces it as "mail". When you bring up the app chooser it is listed as "mail".

Is anyone else noticing the following issues with facebook?
I notice when after voiceover speaks the privacy of a post there's a slite pause and then the content of the post is spoken. I also notice that there's no longer a react button when swiping down. I have to actually go into the post itself to choose a reaction other than like. This just started one day out of the blue without performing any types of updates to ios and the app itself.

My fairly new IPhone 6S Plus (just bought it in early July) has begun doing something odd recently. I'll turn my phone off at night, and when I go to turn it on in the morning, nothing will happen. The only way I can get it to actually turn on is to plug in the power adapter then hold down the power button, and it'll fire right off. Once it's powered on, I can then unplug the adapter and it continues to run perfectly fine, and the battery shows 94% remaining, so it's not like the battery was dead.

Hi Folks.
i hope someone can help me with this?
since i upgraded to IOS15 i noticed voiceover calling out "camera" whenever i navigated to the home selection element above the dock.
i tried to relabel the element and noted the text "camera" was present but i cannot change it.
i reset my phone without logging into icloud and the issue was gone.
however, once i logged into iCloud i got the issue again.
i am at a loss.
Hopefully someone has an idea?
Kind Regards.
Tom

Hi all. About half an hour ago, I opened the youtube app on my phone, which is running the latest IOS. Right after I opened it, I got a message saying that the iTunes store is unable to process purcheases at this time. The only button that came up was an ok button and after I double tapped it, the youtube app worked as it always does. Is this a message that I should be worried about? Have I harmed my phone by hitting the button after this dialog?

Earlier on my iPad I used to be able to use predictive on my hardware keyboard and then go right or left to see emoji like I have been able to do for a long time. Now, however, I just cannot. Nothing shows up at all. I changed my iPad from Swedish to English, deleted both keyboards and then readded the english and it does not want to work.

Running IOS 7.01 on a 5S. When I type a text message with the onscreen keyboard or using dictation, three odd things occur. 1. My message is not read back to me when touching the text box as it did before in IOS 6. 2. My message is read back to me twice, even though it is only there once. 3. there is often a letter G spoken either before or after my message, even though I did not enter that character. Apologies if these peculiar things have been mentioned before.

My fiancΓ©e and I are having a weird issue with the Eero app. I am running an iPhone 12 Pro, and the app works as I would expect it to. She is running an iPhone 13 mini, and the screen refreshes every few seconds. Also, the focus does not stay on the control she is wanting to select. Both of us are running the latest iOS 15 update, as well as the latest eero app. Is there a setting on her device that would cause this behavior? Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi all,

I skipped the original IOS 14 and just installed 14.0.1 a couple of days ago, but at least in my diceworld game app and in my SmartNews app there are constant popups as I swipe through the app.

Hi all, I just thought I would post here because over the past few months I have been working very closely with the developer of a music playing app for the iPhone called golden ear, the app supports lossless music playback, meaning formats such as flac, ape wav etc, but it also supports mp3 and m4a as well.

Hi.

I was just wondering how receptive app developers have been/would be to one of us asking them if we could test their paid apps for accessibility7. That way, we could both help the rest of the blind community and be able to test apps for ourselves without having to purchasew them and then find that they are inaccessible.

Indeed, is there any way we could get free versions of these apps from the developers, again, so we wouldn't have to pay for them, at least for testing?

Thanks.

Hello everybody!
How can I use the app Office Lens? ?

Hello,
I just wanted to post a bit of information that may be interesting to many iOS users here in case this hasn't been noticed before.
Apple has a community forum dedicated to accessibility and one of the forums is focused on vision.
The link is posted at the end, but I'll just point out why as a blind user you should checkout this forum:

Hi all, are there any ogg player that is accesible for iiOS? The built in music app doesn't support it.

Hi All,

Well as they fix one thing FB seem to have created another issue. Firstly for some unknown reason the Group tab has been renamed watch. No idea why. Second and the issue before going into the app VO may say Facebook 3 notifications. However, now, when you go into the app you don't know which tab the notifications are on. I.E instead of saying notifications 3 on the tab it just says the tab name. Anyone else seeing this?

Hi Guys,

Just updated FB to the latest release and now something very odd is happening. On a number of the tabs and on most elements within those tabs VO now says selected before reading out the element. It is extremely annoying and typical of FB accessibility. Anyone else seeing this? iOS 17.5.1 iPhone 15pro.

Hi All I think due to the new filing system in iOS 10.3 Memory and disk scanner pro no longer works. Just ran it for the first time since the upgrade and it found no junk files. Which is wrong as FB if nearly 400MB and it normally clears this down. Anyone else having this issue?

I found this app called oh-tour which is a navigation app. However it only is loading when opening it. Everything it does is saying welcome. Is this app completely dead?
