iOS and iPadOS

First, let me say that I am a low vision user of VoiceOver with a fair amount of usable vision.

So, with that in mind...

Are there any reasonably accessible webcam apps out there? What I mean is, I'm looking for an app that gives you access to webcams in various locations of interest, from major landmarks, to streets in major cities, to beaches, say, of various kinds, all live. I would also prefer webcams that also feature audio feeds.

Are there any accessible apps out there like this?

Has anyone found an approach that allows you to use the daily puzzle in the New York Times? I played the original bookmarklet approach until it became unavailable.

How does one do this? When my lock screen is up, there is nothing at the very top of the screen to touch then 3-finger swipe up from.

Using an iPhone 14 Pro.

hi, hope you're doing well and staying safe. A big thank you to those that helped me with my last post. I have an iPad mini six and a new Magic Keyboard that I got from Apple. I'm using certain apps on my iPad where I have to use direct touch, my question is this is there any way of interacting with direct touch areas using the Magic Keyboard instead of your fingers? Your help with this question would be most welcome. I look forward to your replies once again thank you very much. Kind regards, Trey.

Hi all,
I've had this problem for several years now, and can't figure out how to solve it. I was told fairly early on that holding down the forward or back buttons was the way to bring up history when in Safari, but that seems to only partially work. When I do that, it only pulls up what I've accessed in that particular tab. How do I tell it to show me everything I've ever accessed since I last reset my history?

Hi all:

IOS 13.1.2 isn't too bad for me, but I'm disappointed that I can't access links on Twitter again.
When I click on a tweet, VO reads the entire tweet, and there's no way to select a link.

I called Apple Accessability, when I had this issue in documents, but they didn'! have a fix.

Anyone got ideas?

Thanks,
Louise

Hey y'all. I recently updated my Facebook app and now when I go to the notifications section, it just shows me birthdays, anniversaries, events, Etc. Does anyone know how to access actual notifications like likes, comments, and tags? Thanks in advance for the help.:-)

I’m using the Perplexity app with VoiceOver, and while the experience is generally good, I’m having trouble accessing footnotes within the text. The current process involves going back to the sources, swiping right, double-tapping the chevron down arrow button, and then viewing an unnumbered list of sources. This makes it difficult to match the footnote in the body text to the source.

Hi,
I enjoy loom knitting and am trying to find the best app for accessing Ravelry.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi,

I'd like to use extentions in safari, which came as part of ios 15/iPadOS 15.

I did some research, and figured out how to enabled extensions, once the associated app is installed.
However, my question is, once I have an extension enabled, how do I access it, from within Safari?

Thanks in advance.

I went to check on my subscriptions today and discovered that I cannot access them. On all three of my phones, I get a pop-up button for app name which I can’t seem to tap and open, a button for price and a button for renewal date. Directly under that is a heading for Active subscriptions and then one for in active subscriptions. The only thing I can pull up is the Apple one subscription which I don’t have but I cannot pull up any of the ones that I do have. I would’ve not discovered this today except I needed to double check on one that I had just ordered today from MLB..

Okay, i just tried accessing music within iOS 12 today, and found I can't access either the now playing button, if there is one anymore, or the player for accessing controls such as rewind and so forth. There's that button that is a bit inconsistent, the skip, or mini player button. Either way, it skips the track. I have Apple music which I'm subscribed to right now. Not sure if those added tabs might be creating confusion with voice over or what.

Hi all,

Is there a way to access the two feeds, those being music and podcasts and shows, with the recently updated Spotify app on iOS?
The reason I ask is because I want to see if I have the new DJ feature that just came out today and is available to premium users in the US and Canada.
I see the what's new feed and the content filter there to select music or podcasts, but there's also a content filter on the main home feed when you first open the Spotify app, which doesn't appear visible to VoiceOver.
Am I missing something?
Thanks.

The Today View in iOS used to be so convenient and easy to navigate until iOS 14. Now, the widgets make it harder to access the things I need, such as the Google Transit Departures widget. Do you have any tips for navigating this landscape with VoiceOver?

Good morning all,

Well, when you have an image send/shared to you in an instant messaging app like WhatsApp or SnapChat, you can usually use an app like Seeing AI, and in the future something like BeMyEyes to get an image describtion and respond appropriately. But is there any way to get a sense of what people put up as their statuses? There's no way to share these images with any recognition app, neither does VO give any kind of describtions. Anyone has any workaround or any tool to deal with this? Similar is the issue with instagram stories for example.
