I've noticed that when flicking through a WhatsApp chat, I'm being offered a button for contact info of the sender of the previous message. This is quite annoying. I believe this has only started today, presumably with an update. Is anyone else experiencing this?
iOS and iPadOS

Hello
I reset my iPhone 8+ to reset all settings and since then I hear a swishing sound when I move from app to app in my Home screens. I can not remember where to turn it off. 3 years ago, after just receiving my iPhone 6S the same thing happened and somebody on this forum provided me with the answer. Assistance again will be much appreciated.

Hi everyone. I love the Kindle app on iOS and use it almost every day, so was rather annoyed and disheartened to encounter a nasty bug in the latest version. As of Kindle V. 6.84, (released on 8/19), VoiceOver seems to be ignoring spacing and punctuation between certain words, so when reading continuously it sounds like all words are running together. It makes for some weird pronunciations and a truly unpleasant reading experience. Has anyone else encountered this and/or reported it to Amazon? Is the word spacing issue also present when reading with a Braille display?

this bug is very annoying and I don't know of any workarounds. when I add a contact to send a message to, VoiceOver no longer announces the contact name when I go back to that field to confirm that I have entered the right contact. it now just says the phone number. this can be especially difficult when using group messaging. I can no longer confirm who is getting my text messages if I don't know their phone numbers by memory. has anybody else experienced this annoying bug? and to anyone who is a beta tester, has this issue been fixed in 13.4?

I know an app called Vizwiz. Where you take a photo, record a question and you will get the information about where you are.
I dont it doesnt work well then I can only choose email facebook or twitter.
Im wondering if theres any other better app same as Vizwiz which will help blind people in their position they dont know the place.

I know this has been mentioned, but I wondered if anyone has contacted Apple about the issue yet.
I was playing with my wife's iPhone (she's upgraded to IOS6) and tried accessing the app store with VO.
Happily the issue with VO not reading the ratings has been fixed.
Now I'm encountering an issue where none of the swiping gestures will work to move up or down a page.
Also the headings option in the roter doesn't seem to work either.
If I use a one finger flick to the right or left, that doesn't seem to do much either.
I "read" where Dave 82 noted 2 options....At the bottom of the screen you ca

Hello all,
I want to continue Ken's recent post on the subject of the app store by asking a question about one of my annoying problems. This concerns the problem of not being able to see 'the wood for the trees'. Let me explain. Yesterday, I made a terrible mistake by deleting my 'Apps Gone Free' app and wanted to get it back as quickly as possible.

A quick question about Apple Books and iOS 16. It is a much less user-friendly experience now. Just a minor thing, but previously whilst you were reading, you could tap in the right spot or flick through, and it would tell you how many pages were left in your chapter. it doesn’t seem to do that now. Is that correct? If you had to do something or go out, or just weren’t sure how much, you could have a look at how many pages were left and decide whether you were just going to finish this chapter or whether you had better put your book down and go and do something.

One of the primary reasons I purchased the iPhone was for its voiceover feature. I love books so it reads books to me. I have discovered an issue, however, which I believe is linked to the iOS 9 update. I have a set of LG TonePro which work well with iOS 9 until I try to use voiceover. In the past, I would triple click the home screen and voiceover would work without a hitch. Now, voiceover, by default, plays through the iPhone's speakers and not through the headset. It seems linked to AirPlay. The TonePro is automatically set as the AirPlay destination until voiceover is turned on.

Hey to all. I posted this in the dimensions app discussion but I'll post it here to move traffic off the app. for a bit.
I'm having issues talking to others in collective. I double tap the button, speak my 5 second master piece, hear it back at me, but that's about it. I never hear anyone else and no one can hear me. What is going on. Am I doing something wrong? I will Definitely figure this out but thought I'd ask here. I asked on the dimensions rjdj page but with no luck. Everyone is wining about how they don't have twitter and face book. lol!
Anyways.

If I select a part of a file, and then want to deselect it, how do I do that? Because once I select a part of a file, I can no longer find a way to hear the parts of the file that are outside of my selection.

Hi all,
Could one of you who uses ThumbJam please post an audio tutorial or send it to me by email as to how to create an instrument using ThumbJam's built in instrument creation tool? And also how to set it up so that I can share the instrument with others? I find that the explanation in the manual is not as straight forward to me as it could be. I tried to create a 12 string guitar instrument but it didn't work.

Hi everyone,
Is there another way of deleting apps from the home screen on iOS using VoiceOver instead of the rotor or not? I'm trying to uninstall the iAssociate 3 app and I can't seem to find the edit mode option in my rotor. How can I delete said app from my home screen using VoiceOver?
Cheers,
André

So I discovered another work around to our never ending tagging issue on facebook where we can't mention names. I use the Safari version of facebook where I log into facebook through Safari and post a status. I guess this will be a work around until this issue gets fixed. It's annoying but it's better than nothing.

As this question/request was at least two years ago as a part of some more general thread, I'll start a new thread. I can't find the original post, but hopefully the person that asked still reads the forum and it may be a useful tip for other people too.
The request was to alter the swipe up/down behavior over the play button in Speech Central to match what Voice Dream does.

Hello Brad, Oliver, Patrick (and Stoo because it was his article),

I have been having a lot of trouble trying to answer an incoming phone call on my iPhone 4S running iOS 8.1.
When the phone rings, I try to answer by double tapping with two fingers. Often this does not seem to answer the call. If, instead of double tapping twice to anser the call, I try to flick around to find the "Answer" button, it is almost impossible to hear VoiceOver announcing the button lables over the sound of the audio ring tone. The problem is that the audio ring tone is not being ducked when voiceOver is speaking.

Subject line is clear as a bell. I stopped having the phone go to auto select, partially because the phone would sometimes not switch to speaker if I had it away from my ear. The main reason is I want the ability to hang up with the bower button. I still liked it on the top better then the side, I seem to pushit by accident. anyway how does the call work now? I answer it and what? Thx

I don't believe this feature exists, but sure would be really awesome to have.
I am usually connected to my Bluetooth TWS and can answer and reject calls by doing a tapping gesture on any of the L/R ear buds. However, many times instead of declining the call I end up answering it. So I have to sit through the call although it was not a good time to indulge in conversation. What if? we could use Voice Control to answer/ decline calls?

Hi! I don't know how to answer or decline a video call LOL. After calling him, I ggot my friend to video call me and I couldn't figure out how to answer. I checked the forum and found nothing. I guess no one else had this problem LOL.
