Hello Everyone, As of the most recent release of the Native Twitter app, I am delighted to inform you that the bug described in the thread with the subject line of, "A real problem now in Twitter", has been resolved.
It is now once again possible to place focus on a user profile, in a list of profiles, in order to open that user's profile page. I am convinced that this bug was resolved so quickly as a result of our combined efforts in contacting Twitter via the app review system. Please always keep in mind that just because a company does not elect to post a particular review does not mean that said review was not carefully scrutinized.

I am experiencing the same bug as you describe. Kathy, one sure fire way of getting Twitter's attention is to write a gracious yet comprehensive review of the app in the iTunes App Store, describing the bug along with the precise steps to re-create the bug, and then requesting that it be resolved as soon as possible. For example, the following is the review that I just posted to the iTunes App Store: [Begin Review] Title: A New VoiceOver Bug Found in Current Release Description: In the current version of this app, unlike in previous versions, when VoiceOver, Apple's software screen reading solution for the blind and low vision, is enabled, the user cannot place focus on any user profile, in a list, in order to jump directly to that user's profile page. To re-create the bug: 1. Make sure VoiceOver is enabled. 2. Upon launching the app, select the Me tab. 3. Activate either the Follow or Following link. A list of either those you follow or those following you will be displayed. 4. Now, attempt to place focus on any of the user profiles in the list, in order to jump directly to a profile page. You will soon discover that, unlike in previous versions of this app, all you can do is to choose to either follow or unfollow users; and that is the bug. I respectfully request that this very significant problem, to those of us who are visually impaired, be resolved as soon as possible. Thank you. [End Review] Kathy, et al, Please feel free to use any or all of the above review in your efforts to contact Twitter regarding this issue. Good Luck to Us All on This One, Mark -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Kathy Brandt Sent: Thursday, September 03, 2015 10:59 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Cc: David Poehlman; Mika Pyyhkala Subject: Re: A real problem now in Twitter I have gotten no response so far when writing to @twitter and @Support People are writing in though, and among other things found another possible contact: @a11yteam Their profile talks about Twitter accessibility and making it more inclusive.

I can't figure out how to get around this. This is in the native Twitter app. I would often go to my follow or followers page and hit that user profile name to view that persons timelines. Now I can't unless I search for them, and some of the names are too complicated to memorize.
