Terrible experience with iPhone and 18.01, but Apple Accessibility rescued me.
With checking calls, I found out that I was not hearing them come in. Silent Ring Mode was not on. I turned it off, then back on. Do not disturb was not on. Ring volume was at 100%. Bluetooth off and on was not in the Control Panel. So, when I called for help, the lady was so helpful. She had me go to hearing, turn off Bluetooth, put my hearing aids on the charger, so they would not be connected in any way with the phone, turn Bluetooth back on, get out my hearing aids, and then it all worked. Bluetooth was on. I checked in Control Panel, and I could turn it on or off. I really complimented her. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.

A couple gestures have to add an extra gesture to function.And I copied that actually from the phone watch app under Clock haptic time.Richard, USA“Grandma always told us, “Be careful when you pray for patience.

Re: Apple accessibility reply regarding haptic time on Apple Watch
Hi all, I have a Series 7 Apple Watch (41 mm). I am still running Watch OS 9, as I gathered that there were some bugs with version 10. I use Taptic Time frequently, and pretty consistently. I also have Sleep Focus enabled, but in my case this does not alter the number of taps required: regardless of the time, I always do a one-finger double tap for hours and minutes, and a one-finger triple tap for just minutes. If I want the watch to remain silent, I turn speech off using a three-finger double tap, the same gesture as on the phone. Haptic Time works fine when speech is turned off. My watch is not an SE, by the way, it's the standard model. I hope this is helpful. Best, Nicky Sent from my iPhone > On 24 Dec 2023, at 13:24, M.

Apple accessibility reply regarding haptic time on Apple Watch
A few days ago the discussion about haptic time on the Apple Watch came up again and a few people posted they could not get it towrk at all whereas others had no issues and yet again others seemed to get mixed results. On my new Apple Watch Ultra 2 I can use haptic time with very good consistency, however, there is one oddity which sounds like it is a bug. First of all, here is what Apple Accessibility said in their reply to the email I sent them in which I asked for clarification as to which gesture exactly should work and what result to expect and whether there were any exceptions: Hello Sieghard, Expected behavior with Taptic Time while VoiceOver is enabled is to use a one-finger double tap to feel hours and minutes, or a one-finger triple tap for just the minutes. This is with the screen locked. If the watch is awake, place your palm over the watch face to put it to sleep or if Wake on Wrist Raise is turned on, turn your wrist downwards and then perform the one-finger double tap. We tested this with a Sleep Focus enabled and managed to get the same results. If you are receiving different results when trying these above steps, we recommend partnering with a member of our AppleCare Accessibility Support team to further troubleshoot. If they are unable to resolve the concern through troubleshooting, then they can escalate their findings to the appropriate teams for further investigation. You will find the contact information for the team in the following support article: https://support.apple.com/HT209585 The reason why they mentioned sleep focus is because for me a 1 finger double tap does absolutely nothing when my automatic sleep focus is on. It is set to start at 10:30 PM and end at 7 AM and by now I have tested and reproduced this at least 10 times. If I double tap the screen at 10:28 PM or 7:01 AM all is well and haptic time vibrates the hours and minutes. If I do so at 10:31 PM or a minute or two before 7 AM the doubl e tap does nothing, but a triple tap with 1 finger gives me hours and minutes consistently. In the sam eway a quadruple tap during the time when sleep focus is on gives me just the minutes in haptic time, of course when sleep focus is not on I already get just minutes after a triple tap. I plan to reach out to the support resources they mention in the arcticle in the new year because unless some other setting causes this, it should definitely be something they take a closer look at. I would be very curious to know if others have to use a triple and quadruple tap and if so, whether this is also in certain scenarious or whether it is always so. Please make sure to also mention the watch model you have since I assume this could also have something to do with it.

Re: The importance of calling Apple Accessibility
I mostly agree with this statement. I haven’t had any issues with Apple Accessibility responding to my emails. In fact, I get a response with more questions about 90% of the time. It all depends on how in-depth you are in your email, and describing the issue. Both forms of communication are useful, to say one is better than the other, is hard to actually say. Granted you feel like they can’t ignore you if you call, but to say they prefer the calls is a bit of a stretch. Honestly if you report something, either via email, or via the phone it will be heard, and it takes time for the devs/engineers to look at the issue. Sometimes you might not hear anything from the Accessibility team, as they are not only dealing with Voiceover bugs, but all of the accessibility bugs being reported across the devices/OS’s. I honestly feel however you want to report bugs is probably just fine with the accessibility team, just report them when you find them.

RE: please follow me DO ALL complain with Apple accessibility dictation feedback bug still not solved
It cannot be reproduced all the time but it helps as you have been dictating several phrases in a row. Suddenly, after you stop dictating, you magic tap and here a sound and then normally as it should be, the tekst is read to you, that tekst that you have been dictating. In most cases this doesn't work, even VO is crashing and you have to close the app, reopen it, search fort he edit field and find or correct there your dictated tekst. It is really crab and frustrating behaviour and the most tramendous bug ever on ios. Moreover in some cases stopping the dictation results in the playback of music a complaint which I have heard dozens of times in the last 2 or 3 months.

You can if you open the Amazon Alexa app first and have it set to be listening. But, no, you cannot just say that because the app is on the phone.

Re: From Mark to the List, Just a General Apple Accessibility Gravity Check-in
Wait a minute, before you go advertising that you can't use the intercom feature via a Sonos speaker, actually you can. There's an app called intercom, that works for the Sonos speakers. So if you have an iPhone or an android, all you have to do is open up that app, and you can make announcements all through your house on your Sonos system. > On Aug 10, 2022, at 11:12 AM, Sieghard Weitzel wrote: > > If you want to use Alexa frequently I suggest you go ahead and buy an Echo > smart speaker.

There will be no Touch Id on this year's iPhones or let's just say I'd be extremely surprised if there were since at this point the rumours are typically quite accurate. Just FYI, you can probably find a third-party repair place which could replace that Lightning port on your 8 Plus for a fairly reasonable amount if you so desired. I guess it all depens on what your plans are for your 8 Plus, if you want to sell it finding out if this could be done for say $50 might be worth it, but I certainly wouldn't spend more than that. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of M.

This is to say, in order for me to keep a cable inserted, the phone must be on a horizontal plain or the cable will fall out. I do use a wireless charger with it but . I am going to try to make it last until the next iPhone release which, hopefully, will offer some form of touch ID.

I find that I am using fewer and fewer apps. I am not sure why. All of the apps that allow me to easily manage my finances continue to be my favorite apps, of course. However the Amazon apps continue to be at the top of my must have list. I noticed some kind of a glitch between VoiceOver and Alexa on an iPhone 11, the other day.

Re: From Mark to the List, Just a General Apple Accessibility Gravity Check-in
Hello,I have an early 2015 MacBookPro, which sadly, isn’t supported by Ventura. I was looking forward to beta testing that, as some areas have changed, according to what I read on the subject. I also have an iPhone SE, second generation and it’s going strong. I beta test iOS 16. I have an account for the Apple Developer Program, just for testing the most buggy beta releases. There are things I love about iOS 16, but I cannot say most of what I like about it, do to the non-disclosure agreement I read and signed. But, as made public by AppleVis, I love Eloquence! It’s an awesome beta, and I cannot wait ‘till it is public, as then, everything can be shared.

Fwd: [tech-vi Announce List] A Response From Apple Accessibility Regarding Lost Siri Functionality FW: Please Bring Back Lost Siri Functionality; Follow-up: 782296253
From the Tech-VI list owner: Many users of Apple products have noticed that some Siri functions have recently disappeared. These voice commands pertain to functions for accessing email, call history and voicemail. I recently wrote to Apple Accessibility requesting that these capabilities be reinstated. I received the following positive response. *From:* Apple Accessibility *Sent:* Monday, October 4, 2021 6:10 PM *To:* david.goldfi...@outlook.com *Subject:* Re: Please Bring Back Lost Siri Functionality; Follow-up: 782296253 Hello David, Thank you for your email. We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused, and we are working to reinstate some Siri Email and Phone actions, which were temporarily removed as part of updates to improve Siri. You will be able to ask Siri to write, send, and check unread emails in the coming weeks. Reinstating Siri actions to check call history and voicemail will take a bit more time, and we will bring back this functionality in an upcoming iOS software update. In the meanwhile, if you would like us to help identify some alternatives using a combination of Siri and accessibility features, please let us know.

Re: Apple accessibility and third-party apps
Hi. I've left reviews in the App Store before, giving the app a 3 star rating which usually brings down their over all average. I've had good success with this, since most app developers and companies are about their app store ratings. Several developers have gotten back to me saying that they would look at this, or giving suggestions for things I could try. However, if the accessibility person for that app does not care, then that's another issue. Are there alternatives in other apps for doing what you want?

I would say most times they try to help. They may be at least willing to do a screen share so they can see what is happening and let you know if they think it is an MLB app issue, or an Apple issue.

Apple Accessibility Update, was Re: I O S 14.2 and Night Sky
The short answer is they don't yet know what is going on.

Let's hope they can figure it out.

He is going to talk to somebody about it, being that he was able to duplicate the problem on his device, and will allegedly get back to me on Thursday, early evening.

I have everything that remotely might be related to images, emojis, speak screen, etc turned off, and it still occurs. This is on an SE 20, running 14.2.

Heard from Apple accessibility about video editing
Since I like editing videos to combine in iMovie and put on YouTube, I was definitely concerned when I heard you couldn’t edit in the traditional way. I wrote Apple accessibility, who sent me the following: Hello, Thank you for your email. To edit a video in the Photos app, first select the video you want to edit, then tap “Edit". Navigate to the “Media Scrubber” and swipe to the right until you hear “Start”. Swipe up to adjust the start of the video to trim the start of the video. Then swipe to the left until you hear “End”, and then swipe down to shorten the video. Select “Done” when finished. Sincerely, Apple Accessibility In time I will have to see how this works. Might be good for others to continue writing about this, as The other method was straightforward and fine-tunable. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.

Re: Apple accessibility doesn’t answer questions
Like others, I think that was Apple's standard reply. I have gotten that reply each time I emailed them. A few times, I got a more personal response back later if more information was requested or to acknowledge an issue I was having. Like others have said, I've had better success by calling them about specific issues.

RE: Apple accessibility doesn’t answer questions
They just have a standard, auto-reply, kind of like my sister had, when she worked for Dell. If she wasn't there to reply to an email, she could put her email on auto-reply. I don't think Apple's says auto-reply, but it is the standard message.

RE: Caution against following advice to reset settings when reporting iOS 14 issues to Apple Accessibility
Richard is right and sometimes I ask myself whether the folks from Applevis have a portfolio of Apple stocks or so because I find that the VO sluggishness and the focus issues are very severe tramendous bugs and they even don’t classify these issues as being severe.

I went ahead and did a screen recording and submitted it through the feedback app. This is intolerable!

The VO jumpiness and getting stuck is something I too have reported to Apple Accessibility. I believe others are experiencing it too. It’s actually a major pain and feels like a major bug. I get it when trying to share something via the share sheet, When trying to fill in log in credentials with 1Password and randomly here and there throughout iOS. It also seems to be present in SeeingAI. Pretty much breaking that functionality. In my case, I reported it via email and the accessibility team asked me to provide a screen recording of the issue as well as a system log during the time I did the screen recording which I did. There are some other bugs I’m dealing with in regards to text editing and VO being over chatty now (saying toolbar on the toolbar now), but this jumpiness and getting stuck on buttons/edit fields etc. really is a pain. Good luck and hopefully you can find some sort of resolution instead of having to wait for an open Apple store.

Re: Caution against following advice to reset settings when reporting iOS 14 issues to Apple Accessibility
If all else fails, try this. connect your phone to iTunes and then put it into DFU mode. This will give you feedback from your screen reader and you'll know if iTunes is still seeing the phone. Be sure to choose the update and restore button instead of just restore. I think you have to hit the first restore button to get that second update and restore button to come up. This will give you a clean install just in case something went wrong some where. Then maybe you can update from iCloud to get some of your settings back.

Thanks everyone for all the comments on IOS 14. I usually allow automatic updates but went in and turned that off for now.

Mark, Thanks for the DFU article. I'll be trying that in a bit if the other recovery option with iTunes doesn't work. I saw the post with the DFU explanation and can follow it just fine without any additional formatting. Alan -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of M. Taylor Sent: Saturday, September 19, 2020 6:44 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Caution against following advice to reset settings when reporting iOS 14 issues to Apple Accessibility Hello Alan, I am so very sorry for what you have encountered. It sounds like a nightmare. I think the solution to your problem is to put your phone into DFU mode. I am going to paste in an article that I just found, below. I will also post the article to the list in a separate thread for future reference. In order to save time and get the article to you as quickly as possible, I will not format the document in this paste; however I will format the document in its separate thread. Good luck, my friend, and let us know how it goes. Mark How To Put An iPhone In DFU Mode, The Apple Way How To Put An iPhone In DFU Mode, The Apple Way By David Payette: February 20, 2019 DFU stands for Device Firmware Update, and it s the deepest type of restore you can do on an iPhone. An Apple lead genius taught me how to put iPhones into DFU mode, and as an Apple tech, I ve done it hundreds of times. Surprisingly, I ve never seen another article explain how to enter DFU mode the way I was trained. A lot of the information out there is just plain wrong. In this article, I ll explain what DFU mode is, how firmware works on your iPhone, and show you step-by-step how to DFU restore your iPhone. If you d rather watch than read (actually, both can be helpful), skip down to our new YouTube video about DFU mode and how to DFU restore an iPhone. What You Need To Know Before We Begin The Home Button is the circular button below your iPhone s display. The Sleep / Wake Button is Apple s name for the power button. You ll need a timer to count to 8 seconds (or you can do it in your head). If you can, back up your iPhone to iCloud, iTunes, or Finder before put your iPhone in DFU mode. NEW: Macs running macOS Catalina 10.15 or newer use Finder to DFU restore iPhones. How To Put An iPhone In DFU Mode 1. Plug your iPhone into your computer and open iTunes if you have a Mac running macOS Mojave 10.14 or a PC. Open Finder if you have a Mac running macOS Catalina 10.15 or newer. It doesn t matter if your iPhone is on or off. 2. Press and hold the Sleep / Wake Button and Home Button (iPhone 6s and below) or the volume down button (iPhone 7) together for 8 seconds. 3. After 8 seconds, release the Sleep / Wake Button but continue to hold the Home Button (iPhone 6s and below) or the volume down button (iPhone 7) until your iPhone appears in iTunes or Finder. 4. Let go of the Home Button or volume down button. Your iPhone s display will be completely black if you ve successfully entered DFU mode. If it s not, try again from the beginning. 5. Restore your iPhone using iTunes or Finder. How To Put An iPhone 8, 8 Plus, Or X In DFU Mode A lot of other websites give false, misleading, or overcomplicated steps when telling you how to DFU restore your iPhone 8, 8 Plus, or X. They ll tell you to turn off your iPhone first, which is completely unnecessary. Your iPhone does not have to be off before you put it in DFU Mode. If you like our videos, watch our new YouTube video about how to DFU restore your iPhone X, 8, or 8 Plus. If you prefer to read the steps, the process is actually a lot easier than they make it out to be! The process starts off just like a hard reset. 1. To DFU restore your iPhone X, 8, or 8 Plus, quickly press and release the volume up button, then quickly press and release the volume down button, and then press and hold the side button until the screen goes black. 2. As soon as the screen turns black, press and hold the volume down button while continuing to hold the side button. 3. After 5 seconds, release the side button but continue to hold the volume down button until your iPhone shows up in iTunes or Finder. 4. As soon as it appears in iTunes or Finder, release the volume button. Ta-da! Your iPhone is in DFU mode. Note: If the Apple logo is appearing on the screen, you held down the volume down button for too long. Start the process over from the beginning and try again. How To Put An iPhone XS, XS Max, Or XR In DFU Mode The steps for putting an iPhone XS, XS Max, XR in DFU mode are exactly the same as the steps for the iPhone 8, 8 Plus, and X. Check out our YouTube video about putting an iPhone XS, XS Max, or XR in DFU mode if you re more of a visual learner! We use my iPhone XS to walk you through every step of the process.

RE: Caution against following advice to reset settings when reporting iOS 14 issues to Apple Accessibility
Hi Mark, NO, unfortunately it doesn't. As others have mentioned enabling that setting made a lot of apps unusable. There was no change in the focus behavior either. The only way I could get VO to stop its weird screen recognition hiccup was to restart the device completely. So restarting doesn't resolve anything either. Apple responded that they were aware of the HTLM element issue and that they were working on it, but man. It's all over the place and once you encounter it, that's it. All you can do is force quit the app. Maybe if you're lucky, you can dismiss that screen, but that's usually not the case. Also, for me at least, VO can't maintain focus on the dictate button. It jumps and flickers and the haptic feedback is as if the phone's doing the jitterbug. I have to use the two finger double tap to invoke dictation which is not as convenient as simply using one hand as more often than not, you've got to use two hands with the two finger tap thing. One to hold the device and the other to tap. All in all, talk about beyond annoying. Cristóbal -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of M.

The VO jumpiness and getting stuck is something I too have reported to Apple Accessibility. I believe others are experiencing it too. It’s actually a major pain and feels like a major bug. I get it when trying to share something via the share sheet, When trying to fill in log in credentials with 1Password and randomly here and there throughout iOS. It also seems to be present in SeeingAI. Pretty much breaking that functionality. In my case, I reported it via email and the accessibility team asked me to provide a screen recording of the issue as well as a system log during the time I did the screen recording which I did. There are some other bugs I’m dealing with in regards to text editing and VO being over chatty now (saying toolbar on the toolbar now), but this jumpiness and getting stuck on buttons/edit fields etc. really is a pain.

I did upgrade iTunes to its latest version before backing up before upgrading to iOS 14.

RE: Caution against following advice to reset settings when reporting iOS 14 issues to Apple Accessibility
Hello Cristobal, I have not yet updated my beloved 8 Plus to iOS 14 and do not plan on doing so anytime soon. However, I have updated my iPad to iPad OS 14 and am not experiencing any of the focus issues, reported on the list. Question: Does disabling Scene Description mode resolve the VoiceOver focus problem? I ask because doing so on my iPad made VoiceOver perform as expected.

The VO jumpiness and getting stuck is something I too have reported to Apple Accessibility. I believe others are experiencing it too. It’s actually a major pain and feels like a major bug. I get it when trying to share something via the share sheet, When trying to fill in log in credentials with 1Password and randomly here and there throughout iOS.

Alan, I'm sorry for what you have gone through with apple accessibility concerning your phone. Some of those people are very good and some not so good.

Re: Caution against following advice to reset settings when reporting iOS 14 issues to Apple Accessibility
I'm going to recommend that people who haven't upgraded to 14 not do so just yet. It's not going to break your phone, but there are some huge headaches you'll encounter with IOS 14. The one good thing about Apple is that they usually get on this stuff pretty fast and start pushing out fixes for it. So you'll be able to get 14 in a few weeks and have a much better experience than others.

Re: Caution against following advice to reset settings when reporting iOS 14 issues to Apple Accessibility
You're encrypted backup isn't going to work since it's a 13.7 backup and your phone is running 14. If you're lucky your phone might just be stuck in recovery mode and didn't actually try to downgrade back to 13.7 which I'm not sure if Apple is still signing that anymore. Do some google searches on ways to get your iPhone out of recovery mode to see if any of those suggestions will work. Maybe you'll get lucky and it will boot up in IOS 14 and you'll just have to set up as a new phone. Do you backup to iCloud as well? If so, you might be able to restore from that.

RE: Caution against following advice to reset settings when reporting iOS 14 issues to Apple Accessibility
your iPhone. There’s the potential for something to go wrong. If your iPhone is damaged in any way, and especially if it’s water-damaged, a DFU restore may break your iPhone. I’ve worked with customers who tried to restore their iPhones to fix a minor problem, but water had damaged another component that prevented the restore from completing. A useable iPhone with minor problems can become completely unusable if a DFU restore fails because of water-damage. What’s Firmware? What Does It Do? Firmware is the programming that controls the hardware of your device. Software changes all the time (you install apps and download new email), hardware never changes (hopefully, you don’t open your iPhone and rearrange its components), and firmware almost never changes — unless it has to. What Other Electronic Devices Have Firmware? All of them! Think about it: Your washing machine, dryer, TV remote, and microwave all use firmware to control buttons, timers, and other basic functions. You can’t change what the Popcorn setting does on your microwave, so it’s not software — it’s firmware. DFU Restores: All Day, Every Day. Apple employees restore a lot of iPhones. Given the option, I’d always choose a DFU restore over a regular or recovery mode restore. This isn’t official Apple policy and some techs would say it’s overkill, but if an iPhone has a problem that can be resolved with a restore, a DFU restore stands the best chance of fixing it. Thanks for reading and I hope this article clarifies some of the misinformation on the internet about how to enter DFU mode and why you’d want to use it. I encourage you to embrace your inner geekiness. You should be proud! Now you can tell your friends (and kids), “Yeah, I know how to DFU restore my iPhone.” Thanks for reading and all the best, David P.

Caution against following advice to reset settings when reporting iOS 14 issues to Apple Accessibility
Hello List, I want to caution others from avoiding the problem I'm experiencing after calling Apple Accessibility to report an issue I was having with iOS 14. I was checking out the setting under my name/Apple ID and when I opened Media and purchases, I noticed that when swiping through the various controls to check out the screen that focus kept jumping back to the Apple ID control in the upper left of the screen. This was some major jumping and occurred on several controls on that screen. Trying to be a good citizen, I called Apple Accessibility to report the issue. I spoke with someone named Willard who was nice enough but who suggested I reset all my settings to factory defaults. I argued with him that I had a lot of custom settings and wasn't comfortable doing that but he said it was the first suggestion they gave after getting contacted about problems following an iOS upgrade. Against my better judgment, I reset all my settings. Here are some of the things that were reset that will prevent me from ever doing that again: 1. All my Apple cash credit cards were removed. 2. My Touch ID was reset. 3. The accessibility setting for Voiceover with the home button was reset. 4. All my custom keyboards were removed. 5. My keyboard settings were changed from Touch typing to standard typing. 6. My default ringtone was reset. 7. The background color of my home screen was reset from a sea green to something that appears to be sort of a red orange color. 8. Other custom settings I had made were reset that I can't recall. I was able to puzzle out and reset most of the settings but could never figure out how to reset the background color of my home screen. I looked under display and screen settings and under Wallpaper but found nothing. I then decided to restore my encrypted backup I made with iTunes before upgrading to iOS 14. That took over an hour and now all my phone does is that the Apple logo appears on a black screen as it used to when doing a hard reset but it appears for a few seconds and then disappears and then reappears again. The phone which is an SE 2020 will not restart and is no longer recognized when I plug it to the lightning cable and open iTunes.

For Apple, Accessibility Awareness Happens All Year Long, from Forbs magazine
Below is a very long article, but easier to read this way than on the web site: For Apple, Accessibility Awareness Happens All Year Long Photo of Steven Aquino Steven Aquino Contributor Diversity & Inclusion Steven covers accessibility and assistive technology. The blue accessibility icon on a blue background, with eyes, an ear, and a hand around APPLE May is Accessibility Awareness Month. As I reported last week for iMore, Apple is recognizing the occasion with a slew of minor yet notable updates to its various properties-Apple Store editorial, Apple Support, and more. Celebrating Accessibility Awareness Month is something the company has done for several years, so this year is no different. Like privacy, Apple's commitment to prioritizing assistive technology is institutional; to paraphrase Kendrick Lamar, Apple got accessibility in their DNA. I've heard stories about how former iOS boss Scott Forstall pushed internally for the inclusion of accessibility features into what was then known as iPhone OS. The first batch-VoiceOver, Zoom, Mono Audio, and White-on-Black- made their debut in 2009 with the iPhone 3GS. There is a codified way of doing business at Apple, and accessibility plays a big role. Accessibility is part and parcel of the design process for new products and initiatives within Apple Park. It's my understanding, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter, accessibility is on the ground floor of considerations when Apple starts development of any product. While it's certainly right to laud Apple for recognizing Accessibility Awareness Month, the truth is recognizing accessibility is a continuous project for the company that extends beyond one month or one day. Accessibility awareness is a 365-day affair at Apple. From emoji and WWDC to media events and diversity reports, the company tries hard to ensure people with disabilities are properly represented in just about everything associated with Apple. With this im mind, and with Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) coming next Thursday, May 21, as of this writing, here are two areas in which accessibility is abstractly prevalent throughout Apple's software and services. Accessibility Makes The Front Page One of the under-the-radar changes made to iOS 13 (and iPadOS and watchOS 6) was the Accessibility settings were moved from the General section of Settings to the front page. To borrow a journalistic expression, the fact Accessibility went "above the fold" is not merely a change for convenience's sake. It is hugely symbolic-and a reflection of Apple's institutional empathy for disabled people. That Accessibility is on the main page, occupying the same space as other critical system settings, sends a subtle yet powerful message that accessibility matters. Not only to users like me with medically-sanctioned conditions, but to every user. Apple is oft to remind people that accessibility features are relevant to anyone, regardless of ability. While these features will (and should) always remain targeted at people such as myself, good software is useful to everyone. You need not have a bonafide visual impairment to appreciate Dynamic Type, for example. (Which is all the more reason third-party developers should support the API in their apps.) In a broader sociocultural context, that Accessibility is on the main page is important. Again, the symbolism is significant. While you certainly could fairly ask why it wasn't done sooner, the fact Apple did this at all speaks volumes about how they value disabled people. Apple is literally putting the needs of people with disabilities front and center; it's a meaningful gesture that goes beyond literal access. By contrast, it annoys me greatly to see news articles and YouTube videos refer to accessibility options as "hidden"-the implication being said features are deliberately buried deep in the bowels of the operating system by an engineer gone rogue, never to be discovered. As I wrote in my piece on Apple and disability discount pricing, ableism pervades society just as much as racism and sexism, yet is talked about far less. Any logical, good-hearted person will agree people with disabilities and our plights matter, but it oftentimes feels like mostly lip service in the grand scheme. As I wrote to conclude the aforementioned piece: Even amidst the steady drumbeat of championing diversity and inclusion, supporters leave out disabled people more often than not. We're relegated to patronizing, feel-good, human interest story status. As such, Apple's decision to move the Accessibility menu stands to challenge those gee-whiz sentiments. It's yet another example of the company saying people with disabilities exist and their needs are important and deserving of accommodation. Disabled people are just as marginalized and underrepresented as women, people of co

Re: join me to reproduce this bug and if so immediately report to Apple accessibility
Hi Richard I never use contracted braille I know how to handle this but I never use this on pcs or smartphone applications. The weired thing now is, I am testing maybe for 10 minutes now and the problem got even worse. I went out of an edit field and got back again and typing the letter t prompted the sentense: no table found. I have been switching now between messages app and whatsapp and now suddenly after 15 minutes the iphone is acting as it should and I’ve had two times after deleting characters and composing words again, the feedback of VO stays normal. So there seems to be a huge unstability in my iphone going onn or what else?

Re: join me to reproduce this bug and if so immediately report to Apple accessibility
This ios is so crab Richard, everybody who reproduces bugs has other experiences. That is like ios11.0, most had no bugs but some had a bunch of them. What I can reproduce is that on ios12 I haven’t had any of these annoyances so they are certainly tramendous bugs even if they are device specific on my iphone xr 64 gb. davy From: Richard Turner Sent: Thursday, April 30, 2020 4:06 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: join me to reproduce this bug and if so immediately report to Apple accessibility OK, I changed my settings to match yours.
