Re: I recommend against upgrading to IOS 16

['Donna Goodin' via MacVisionaries]

I followed. Herbie’s suggestion, and turned off screen recognition. Since then, 
things have been much better. Direct touch still does not work, but the problem 
I was having with double tapping, not working seems to have worked itself out. 
I also had the issue with the voice resetting. But I let my phone sit and the 
voice switch back within a few minutes.
Cheers,
Donna.

Mine is an iPhone XS. I upgraded on the day of release. Shortly after 
the upgrade, the voice configuration in VoiceOver was reset to the 
default (just the voice selection, not the speech rate). I fixed it in 
the VoiceOver settings.


I haven't encountered any other bugs or issues so far, and I've been 
using it significantly since the upgrade.

If getting a 14 then yes, iOS16 will be installed, and I don’t think there is 
any way to roll back the iOs.

Re: I recommend against upgrading to IOS 16

[Kaare Dehard]

I hope that when you get the new phone that iOS 16 isn’t pre-installed. I have 
a X R and minimal misbehaving and focus issues have been observed after

Anyone having really bad issues, have you tried resetting the phone? I
know, last ditch effort, but it may fix some things and put you at the

Re: I recommend against upgrading to IOS 16

Odd, I have not experienced this issue. I have the known bugs with the lock 
screen, but everywhere else works just fine. Make sure Screen recognition is 
off. Also, try turning VO off and then back on.

Re: I recommend against upgrading to IOS 16

['Donna Goodin' via MacVisionaries]

No.  I’m experiencing them while in various apps.  One that jumps to mind is 
Mail.  I frequently have trouble getting mail messages to open.
Cheers,

Am I correct in that you are experiencing these double tapping issues on the

Re: I recommend against upgrading to IOS 16

['Donna Goodin' via MacVisionaries]

I’ve never experienced that until this upgrade.  The strange thing about all 
this is that the behavior is very inconsistent.  Sometimes I’ll double tap and 
everything’s good.  Other times I can double-tap and double-tap forever and 
nothing happens.

Re: I recommend against upgrading to IOS 16

[Bradford Snyder]

I also am not experiencing any “swiping” issues.
Only problem I am having, is when I have Smart Invert (or Classic Invert) 
enabled, I am not able to access the AppSwitcher.
I am able to remedy this situation by, turning off Smart Invert, and then 
restarting my iPhone.
Once the phone restarts, the AppSwitcher works s expected, until Smart Invert 
is enabled again, and the issue is present again.
I’ve tried using Dark Mode instead of Smart Invert, but Dark Mode only works in 
certain apps, and does not provide the same experience.

We have had that issue for a number of years now. What’s frustrating is it has

After approx 24 hours with IOS 16, I have come to the conclusion that my phone 
is only marginally usable.  In addition to the swiping issue previously 
discussed, I’m also finding that often when I tap an icon or a mail message, 
the item will not open.  Sometimes I can work around this by doing a tap and 
hold, but other times I cannot.

Everyone’s mileage may vary, of course, and from what I read on AppleVis, the 
usability may vary from one model to another.  FWIW, I have a 12 mini.  
However, I wanted to post this to the list, just to warn others that they might 
be in for a bumpy ride with IOS 16.  Were I you, I would wait, and hope for 
another release that fixes some of these issues.  This is the worst 
accessibility experience I’ve ever had with Apple, since getting my first 
iPhone in 2009.  I’ve actually written Accessibility to ask about downgrading, 
which I have never done before.
Cheers,
Donna
P.S.  If others have had a better experience, feel free to post and disagree, 
so that listers can have the most complete information possible when deciding 
to upgrade.

Re: I recommend against upgrading to IOS 16

['Donna Goodin' via MacVisionaries]

Jessica, I don’t usually call people from contacts, but what you are describing 
makes sense.  It’s seems like there is some fundamental problem with VO 
focusing on an item and then holding that focus until I shift it by touching 
another element on the screen.  What phone model do you have?

Re: I recommend against upgrading to IOS 16

[Jessica Moss]

I’ve found this to be an issue as well, along with something strange happening 
with my phone screen this morning.  I went into my recent contacts, and tried 
calling back someone who was close to the top of the screen, and ended up 
calling someone else instead, not realizing what happened.
  Then just to help prevent this from happening again, I decided to go into the 
more info menu, just to make sure I was calling the right person, and my screen 
apparently jumped again, and went into information for the wrong contact, and 
it took about 3 tries for me to select the right one.
  Is anyone else noticing this?
