iOS and iPadOS

Does anyone know if you can setup and activate the iPhone without sighted assistance?

Hi, sorry if this may have been asked before...
I just got the new iPhone 12, and I must say, the VoiceOver's screen recognition feature is kind of cool. But, when I turned this feature on for apps, I can't seem to activate the on-screen controls, like buttons.
How do I activate these on-screen controls while keeping screen recognition enabled? Is there specific gestures I do need to perform in order to activate these on-screen controls?

Hello all. I have great luck using Ootunes on an iPhone or iPod Touch. However, when I use it on my iPad, it doesn't seem that VoiceOver activates any of the buttons. For example, when I double tap on the Sleep timer and timed recordings button, or even on the stop button while a stream is playing, nothing happens and nothing additional is viewable on the screen. Has anyone else seen this? Thanks.

Hi, guys. Another e-mail question for you.

Is there a way to click hyperlinks that you put into an e-mail message in the native Mail app while you’re in the e-mail composition screen?

Thanks.

Hi. I am trying to approve a notification I got from Amazon. It's in Messages. VoiceOver says a web address and then it says "link" but I'm not able to activate it with a double-tap. Any suggestions? I tried forwarding the message to my email address, but haven't got my email message. Thanks.

In the Trainline app, when I've purchased a mobile ticket, I can download or view it, but can't find a way to activate it for use. There's a control that says "activate tickets" next to the view tickets button, but it doesn't seem to do anything. On a recent train journey where I was using mobile tickets, I had to let the train manager activate the ticket for me as they were doing the ticket inspection, because I couldn't find a way to do it myself. Can anyone explain to me how to activate tickets with VO? Thanks.

what do you say to activate the doc with voice control? I've tried: open, go to, tap, nothing works. Thoughts?

Has anyone else experienced the above? Whenever I activate a zoom link on my iPad it throws me back to my home screen and doesn't activate the link. I do not have this issue on my iPhone.
My iPad is an iPad air2 running ipad13.5.1. Any ideas why this is happening? Zoom is also up to date.

Hey everyone,
My name is Alex and I'm the developer behind Actiview. We have a new update up on the App Store, with a few bug fixes / feature updates coming this week. For those who don't know, the app provides audio description, amplified audio, closed captions, and more for movies in theaters and, in the near future, the home. The app syncs up with what you're watching and plays back the content automatically.

We have 2 movies coming out this Thanksgiving:

Hello folks, My iPhone 4s loaded with iOS 7.1.2 is very stable an does everything that I need it to do so I have never felt it necessary to upgrade either the hardware or OS. However, one complaint I have is that VO is not smart enough to filtera out ads when reading web pages in Safari. To see if this situation could be improved I was playing with a couple of ad block apps downloaded from the app store. I'm not sure how I managed to fumble the app installation but whatever I did broke something in iOS such that I no longer had network connectivity , Wifi or cellular.

What ad blocker do people recommend for blocking pop ups in Safari, YouTube, etc. Will the same app also work in the Google app?

Also, I'm wondering how these ad blockers work. Do you just have to install them and everything is taken care of or do you have to have them running each time you use a browser, YouTube, etc.?

Thanks.

Hey all!
Ever since I got my ipad, I've always been afraid of adblocking software because I didn't want 2 screw up Vo. or web sites themselves.
but now, with the kind of ads I'm seeing now, I'm starting 2 reconsider. But, I do have questions.
1. have any of you guys used an ad blocker? how does it work?
2. which ones do you recommend? which ones are the most accessible?
3. what's been your experience with ad blockers in general? have you liked using one?

Hi All

In the IOS YouTube app when a advertisement plays Voiceover reads that adds can now be skipped - when you swipe to the "Skip ads" button Voiceover speaks the phrase "Selected, Skip ads button" which to me suggests that Voiceover sees it as a default pre-selection so in theory a magic tap might work. Has anyone else come across this and found a quick solution for skipping the ads?

Hello
Can anyone please recommend a good accessible add blocker, paid or free, to use with IOS 13.5?

Safari with its ads are killing me, do you guys have any ad blocker suggestions?

Hi folks,

I'm a newbie to this site, and also a new iPhone user, having gotten my iPhone 5 3 weeks ago.

I'm discovering a problem with the phone app.  I need to be able to make 3-way calls into a chat line I'm working with.  Whether I dial the line's number manually, or from contacts, I get the same problem - the "Add Call" button usually goes dim before I can initiate a 2nd call.

Does anyone know how one can add music to iPhone five ass without connecting to a computer? I want to add music from my own library which is on a external portable hard drive.

Hi guys, i'm trying to add a website to apple news that is not in the Apple database . All the tutorials I've read instruct me to Click the sharing button at the bottom of safari then click the add to news option however the add news option is not in the shearing menu not even in the more section.

Please can anybody help me solve this problem?

Help with this problem would be most welcome, kind regards trey.
