Francisco,
Thanks. That is what I'm experiencing with my conversation direct messaging the Beats Support folks. Now that I'm actually tweeting a few times, I'm getting the hang of Twitter.

Alan: If you have previously contacted that account, don't even press the compose button. Open the messages tab and scroll through the list of conversations. When you open a conversation you'll find an interface that looks very similar to any chat service. Just tap the bottom of the screen, abobe the tabs to find the text box to send a new message. Also, you can find a specific username from the search tab and dm him from is profile. Best.

I'm glad to know about the custom actions provided when swiping up and down on a Tweet. I'm still finding the Twitter app horribly unintuitive when using Voiceover and I'm going to give an example below so I can hopefully modify my procedures to get better at tweeting. 1. I execute the Messages tab button which is the rightmost button on the bottomline menu. 2. I double tap on the compose new message button which is just above the Messages button on the bottomline menu. 3. Focus is on a search box where I can search for people and groups to whom I'd like to send the message. If I swipe right, I'm taken to a list of what I'm guessing is previous accounts I've tweeted to in the past. I place focus on the first one of these which is Beats by Dre Support and double tap. 4. I'm taken to a text field which Voiceover speaks Beats by Dre Support so I'm thinking this must be the Send To address. When I swipe right once, Voiceover says text field is editing word mode insertion point at start so I'm thinking this is where I should type my tweet. 5. The on screen keyboard is present so I type Test. However, the Send button which is on a horizontal menu that appears above the on screen keyboard is dimmed and as I swipe, I'm presented with @test so apparently I wasn't in the text field to compose my tweet but was still in some sort of send to field since the app is searching for someone to send to. If you could give me some direction as to how to get into the actual text area in which to compose a tweet after selecting the Send to person as I described above, I'd love to hear it. I'd have to rate Twitter as inaccessible based on what I'm experiencing. If this is due to operator error on my part, please instruct me so I can correct my actions.

Hello Alan. The button for composing a new tweet is located in the bottom right corner of the screen, just above the messages tab. Each tweet has Voiceover custom actions that let you reply, retweet, like, open a link and much more by flicking up and down. To dm a specific account, go to their profile, either from the search tab or with Voiceover actions from a tweet this person sent and you will find the compose dm button within a few fliks from the top element. Hope this helps. Best.

I'm already following @BeatsSupport but when I swipe across any of the Twitter screens, I'll be darned if Voiceover announces anything like send a Tweet. This seems to me to be the main purpose of the app so how does one create a new tweet or respond to an existing Twitter thread when using Voiceover? Thanks in advance for any help.
