I won’t be the one to point them out but I believe they are also on this list.
At least I know there is one Apple employee here if not more.

I’m sure Mark or Kara will let us know if we go to far afield and I’ll be happy
to follow their directives as it’s their list.
I think we’re ok though but I will take it elsewhere if there are objections by
the mods.

My understanding is there is at least one blind programmer on the accessibility

David, thanks for the clarification. I can give it the old 3 finger tap, I
don’t mind conforming as long as I get the function I want. I did however
write a response based on Mary’s point since it seemed like a sudden change.

100% agree with Jonathan, and actually, for the note, this isn't the major bug
I found, though again, I can't state what that bug is. It's not so severe it
renders things uselss, but it is a bit annoying.

OK Sandy, here's why I mentioned it, and thanks for not giving me any benefit

I really wonder if there are any actual voiceover users on the team that makes
these changes. No voiceover user in his or her right mind would have agreed
with the change on the iPad or the iPhone. It just adds too much extra stuff to
the reading of every single message totally not necessary.
Efficient email has always been one thing that Apple had over android for me.
This breaks it.

Yes, I always read the messages I open using the two-finger flick up because it
automatically reads just the email message. I am afraid Apple is bringing mail
behaviour inline with the iPad for consistency. Personally, I would rather see
them bring the iPad inline with the iPhone. I guess it
Scott,
Apple changed this in iOS 10. It is now necessary to perform a three-finger
single-tap to have VO read the preview lines for the message. Again, this is a
specific change instituted by Apple, not a bug. If you prefer the previous way,
send Apple a message telling them.
Kind regards,
Yeah, that's what I always did. Somehow it seemed more intuitive. But if the
Two finger flick up worked as Mary said it use to, that would be a nice easy

U gave ti adnut U was used ti flicking over to the start of the text and then
two finger flicking down to read from there. I guess this is just a case of
different usage styles. I can confirm Mary’s observations though and put an
entry in the feedback tool.

While we’re on this, one thing that went away that I did like in previous
versions is pulling up a subject by swiping would read the first few lines of
the content so you could see if you wanted to open the mail or not. Like in OS
X if you select a topic it reads part of the message the iPhone

If Redmondpie discusses the features openly in front of their hundreds of
thousands of users I suspect a few of us blind folk don’t represent a problem
discussing the same content.

Hi Mary,
Thanks for cluing us in. While I won't be crazy about that, It wouldn't be a
deal-breaker for me, as I don't use that gesture all that often when reading
mail. That said, I do hope that Apple can get the problem fixed. At the point
that you open a message, there's certainly no need
Hi all! yes How are youall? Yes, I find the issue that you guys are describing.
Yes, it is a buhg for me. I tus eto read the messages by flicking up and it
read the message. We need to report this to them so the release teh update does
nto ahve any issue. I lok forwardin hearing form yousoon.
Okay, is it just me who is like wh? when i see stuff like this, i
mean on the one hand mary tells us that there is a problem, but on the
other hand she don’t?
i will be honest i think it is the most childish mail i have seen for
weeks. If you can’t talk about it , maybe keeping quiet is the
OK. Understood. It sounds to me that it’s broken. If they changed it, they
need to be told it was an undesired change.

You are a real optimist, John. Since they haven't dealt with it on the iPad
from the very beginning of the iOS beta cycle, and now they broken it on the
phone, I would be shocked if they would actually fix it now. It seems like
they're going the other way. I would certainly hope that you are
Well, since the two finger flick up has been working this way since I have been

the expected behavior. And since several people have reported it as a bug, it
seems rather strange that they would compound the

Just post the problem so we can all post our concerns to Apple if we agree. I
haven’t run in to a problem so it would also be good to see if it’s universal
or not. If you’re not comfortable, write off list and I’ll post it at least
where we shouldn’t have objection.

If that is the case, it would be really helpful to the rest of us to know what
the issue in question is. Otherwise people are just raising the alarm but not
letting anyone know why.

I agree with you, Scott. But since the list admin of at least one of the lists
which I have posted has explicitly stated that they do not want such

When our access is concerned and someone wants to raise concerns I think it’s
critical that they do so and this is the public beta. I actually called Apple
