I regularly enable the Do Not Disturb setting, or whatever it morphed into with the introduction of Focus in iOS 15, before I go to sleep at night. Despite this, My phone has woke me up twice since I migrated to iOS 17.

Hi everyone. Lately my phone has been downloading voices that I don't want to use for voiceover anymore. Is there any way to fix this?

Hello all,
from iOS 11 I have a problem with switching the sound during a phone call on my iPhone 6s+.
When I receive a notification during a call, I hear a sound in the receiver.
Then, after a moment, the caller's voice switches to the speakerphone mode.
I think that this is due to the backlight of the screen when the notification is received, and then its blanking after a certain time according to the system settings.
The handsfree mode is switched on not when the notification is received, only after some time from this event.

Hi, I'm thinking about getting a iPhone 14 pro is there a way the phone will automatically take a selfie?

I am wondering if those familiar with Workflow or similar apps know if it is possible to automate switching to camera mode. Ideally, what I would like to do is have a single icon that would take my phone from portrait to landscape, turn brightness to 100 percent and basically be ready to take a picture.
If I had someone sighted with me, I could then just turn voiceover off and hand the phone over to them, or leave it on and take the picture or video myself.

I am using an iPhone SE 2020 with the latest IOS version 14.4.1
I get many image forwards on my What app. application. As of today, I have
image recognition turned on in my VoiceOver Rotar settings. However, each
time I want to get the text out of the image, I have to open it, switch the
Rotar to Screen Recognition and turn it on to be able to read the image. Most of the time, the text read out of the image isn't accurate and unreliable.

Is there a GPS app that works with Voiceover and will guide the user to the nearest road or street, without the user having to point his/her phone?
Thanks!

Dear All
Unlike almost all apps discussed here, Nearby Explorer is not available in the South African app store.
I have written to the American Printing House for the Blind to ask them to make it available in the South African app store. We have pretty detailed FourSquare and Google maps here, so it should work well. I have received no response from them. I will write again.

Many of you might know that HBO has rebranded to call itself Max. Along with this, the company has released brand new apps for iOS and iPad OS. The app showed up late last night. Those of you who watch HBO's shows and movies by using the iOS or iPad OS apps should not download this app. The app has an inaccessible CAPTCHA.

With the latest Starbucks app update, the app crashes every time I try to access the Order button. I can reproduce this crash reliably, every time. This is a huge disappointment. Their app support team has been helpful in the past so I'll email them, and I encourage others to do the same. I don't have an email address for them so you just have to use the contact form from the app or website

Hi all,
When I record videos by my iPhone, my videos include Voice Over speech at beginning and end due to my control. Do you recommend some tips to avoid this?
Many thanks

I just thought I'd let everyone know that the updated version of WeatherBug Elite (the paid version of WeatherBug), version 2.0, has some accessibility issues. The bottom row of buttons are unlabelled, and the forecast display interface is a little difficult to navigate. I plan to email the developer, as this used to be a really solid weather app. Its main attraction for me was being able to access the text forecasts issued by the National Weather Service.

I figured this was worth creating a new topic. I know some are reluctant to upgrade to iOS 7.1 because of issues people have had with Bluetooth keyboards in the new version. A workaround was suggested in the blog comments, and I have done some testing with this workaround and find it very helpful. I will share what I've found here.
First off, I will identify exactly what the issue is being dealt with here.

First off, I use my iPhone bilingually; Dutch and English. Dutch being the main language the iPhone is set to and English accessed via the language rotor.
I had a bit of a shock after installing IOS 6. What happened was that the Dutch voice seemed to take on English pronunciation rules, giving me a rather muddled and odd experience. After doing a reboot the pronunciation seemed to be back the way I was used to, until I used an app that didn't support Dutch, so automatically defaulted to English.

hello there
i'm a new iPhone user,
as well as a new user at applevis
i have found a developper that their apps really rules.
go to
http://www.azumio.com
i have purchaced stress check and instant heart rate, and they are... um, nearly accessible.
the instant heart rate is verry acurat if you place your fingertip correctly.
anyway i have contacted azumio and asked them to visit applevis and put their products at the database since i couldn't spot them, and ask comments from experienced users here, to make their apps more accessible.
their new app, sleep-time seem to be awesome!

Hello,
I have been an iPhone user for eight years. While I appreciate the accessibility of the iPhone, I have several questions regarding its design.
One issue I have encountered is the lack of accessibility for the back button. In various situations, I have found myself unable to access the back button because it's not accessible in various applications.
To address this, I have resorted to using screen recognition as an alternative. However, this method has limitations, as many applications do not support the back button through VoiceOver.

Hi all,
I have noticed that since the last ios update that on the Apple news app, the back key on news stories is missing. To get the back key back, I have to close the app and double tap the app again and the back key magically reappears. Has anyone else seen this problem?
Steve.
