Hello listers, Regarding the latest Facebook update, I'd like to weigh in with two suggestions. First, make your FB friends aware of the problem by posting about this accessibility issue. Second, you can get back to your news feeed by going to the menu. It's a bit of a pain, and an extra step. But it works. I accidentally updated the APP this morning, and now wish I could just go back to the previous update. I wonder how we might make those responsible aware of the issue, especially since, during this pandemic, many of us, like our sighted friends and family, rely on FB to keep us informed of news about others. This current update is another example of how insensitive APP developers continue to remain when it comes to accessibility for us who use voiceOver.
