Hi Ioana
Thanx to inform me that I am not alone.
I had made an mp3 record for a very clever visually impaired iphone user and
she told me the app did not have a problem at all and even she had to admit my
message buttons were nolonger labeled.
Which iphone do you use?
Regards
Davy

I have had a similar problem for a few versions now but it appears that it's
not present for all voiceover users.
Thanks to Help I received on the list I learned how to find the send button and
that suits my needs for now. I did send them a report also bought we will see
what happens.
Best,
Ioana

Hi.
I have the update before the latest "one and have had no problem either. I
mentioned this because Davy's email said that this update... (not the latest
one) also had accessibility problems.
Davy, what IOS version are you using? Maybe that has something to do with
what you are experiencing?

Hi Davy,
I updated to whatever the latest update was yesterday and have no issues.
Can you be more specific wit some examples where you have problems or where
things are not labelled?
I noticed that the third of out the 5 tabs at the bottom is not labelled,
for me it says from left to right:
Home, Calls, Tab 3 of 5, Groups, People
When I double tap on where Voiceover says “Tab 3 of 5” Voiceover says “Tap
to take photo or video” and I get a screen with a Close button at the top left,
then a button to turn the flash on, a button to “Flip Camera” which is followed
by Voiceover saying “Backfacing Camera” and then I have buttons labelled
“Stickers”, “Draw”, “Text” and a “Previous” and “Next” button.
If I go to the “Home” tab I see all my conversations, I have a “Settings”
button at the top left, a search field in the middle and a “New Conversation”
button at the top right.
My conversations are announced as to whether they are “Unread” if they are
new and Voiceover says “Actions available” which tells me there are rotor
options which are Activate (default), Mute, Delete and More.
More gives me a pop-up menu with Block, Mark as Spam, Archive, Mark as
Unread (or mark as read if it’s unread) and Cancel.
If I double tap to open a conversation I get a “Home, back” button at the
top left, the name of the person in the middle followed by when they were last
active and at the top right are “Audio Call” and “Video Call”.
I am just looking at a message where somebody just sent me a single
message, it is read out perfectly with time and all and if I swipe right
Voiceover says “Type in message… text field is editing”.
Underneath this is a row of items I can find by touching/dragging my finger
or I can swipe right and all are announced:
Emoji, Camera, Photos, Stickers, Gifs, Voice, Games, More and Like.
As soon as I start typing something th “Like” button at the far right
changes to a “Send” button.
The only oddity is that the far left item, Emoji, says “Selected” even
though the regular keyboard is up. If I double tap on it the Emoji keyboard
shows and the icon now says “Text, selected” and I can double tap on that to go
back to the regular keyboard or there is also a “Toggle Text input” button at
the very bottom left of the Emoji keyboard. If I use this to change back to the
regular keyboard the top left item now says “Text” and if I double tap it it
goes back to “Emoji, selected” but the keyboard stays on text until I tap this
again. Like I said, this is just a bit inconsistent, but everything else for me
seems to be perfectly accessible.
If I want to send a voice recording instead of a text message I can tap on
“Voice” and the entire button part of the screen above the home button but all
the way across becomes a big “Record” button. You have to double tap and hold
this just as in Whats App messenger and after you let go anything you record is
automatically sent.
Tap on “Text” at the far left of that row of icons to get out of voice
recording mode and bring the on-screen keyboard back.
Regards,
Sieghard

Subject: do not update messenger above V100!!!
Hi folks
Since messenger 100.1 the app has become dramatically less accessible.
This is the report I sent to facebook this afternoon. So don’t update the
app!
The latest update of Messenger 101.0 is very unaccessible, most buttons and
tabs are nolonger labeled. this has been the case for update 100.1 as well,
despite numerous messages sent by the blind community Facebook refused to
restore accessibility. Now this issue will be sent over by me to numerous
newspapers and all forums of the blind community saying that facebook is
reluctant to solve these accessibility issues since update 100.1.
If facebook is nolonger willing to take accessibility into consideration
for Messenger usage, please make the latest update before v100.1 back available
on the Apple appstore.
Regards
Davy
