iOS and iPadOS

What is the easiest and most accesible way of creating a contact group for an iOS device? Resources I found on the web seem to indicate that this can't be done directly from my iPhone but rather that I have to get onto iCloud on the web. then the instructions talk about dragging and dropping contacts into the group, but that isn't always easy with a screen reader. So I'm wondering if people have any better recommendations or if Apple now has a way of doing this more directly from my phone.

Thanks.

I always like to create a custom voicemail greeting on my phones and recently purchased an iPhone 12 Mini. Whenever I try to record my greeting and push the record button, VoiceOver says stop and it ends up in my message. I've tried performing the three-finger double tap to mute speech but it still happens. Does anyone have any advice? I can just go with the default greeting. But I would like to personalize it. Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

I have tried to create a Mastodon account on my iPhone. I have followed the guidelines to create a username, but have received indications that it does not need the format requirements. Also, when I enter a password, I receive a message that password must be at least six characters. Even if I choose strong password, I still receive the message that it must have six characters. Does anyone have suggestions on the appropriate format to create a username? I am using the app sign followed by my name followed by @mastodon.social. Thanks.

I know how to create a PDF from an email without using voiceover. going to print email, and using the two finger spread gesture to create a PDF that you are then able to save to iCloud files etc. With voiceover, I am having a hard time duplicating the two finger spread gesture, any suggestions? Is it even possible to do the two finger spread gesture while using voiceover?

Hello all,

I have created a shortcut to turn off cellular, wifi and bluetooth on my IOS device using the Shortcut app and have assigned a Voiceover gesture for it. Now I want to make it a toggle rather than creating another shortcut to turn all these on. I can see the option to edit operation to toggle in the case of bluetooth and cellular, but with wifi only options I find is to chose between on and off. But surely if operation toggle option Is available for bluetooth it should also be there for wifi? Anyway I can make this work?

Thanks in anticipation.

Hi. I was intrigued with the new Focus functionality, in IOS 16. Examples include having a Work Focus, that brings up a Home Screen with relevant work apps. It caused me to ask the question- how might I create additional pages, for Home Screen apps? At the moment, if I have too many apps to fit on one page, a new page is created. Is there a way to intentionally create new page(s), with the ability to move desired apps to them, or do I just need to have all apps available and then start swapping them from page to page, until I get the desired effect? Any thoughts are much appreciated.

Hi all,
I'd like to create my own audio blog or podcast by only using the iPhone and VoiceOver.
Are there any accessible apps / services available that would let me do that?
Cause I'd like to do that on the go I don't really want to cut or edit the audio. So I guess that for the recording part Apple's Voice Memos should do the job for me. But where to share it and how? Any recommendations?

Hi all,
I have a mac but do almost all my work on my iPHone. I would love to start creating and updating spreadsheets. I am thinking that XCEll will work less well than iOS numbers. I find both rather unclear and would love to hear if anyone has had any luck working with spreadsheets on iPHone. I'd like to create data base and add some formulas. Alternatively I'd be happy to work on the mac. I don't have microsoft 365 so would hope to avoid having to subscribe just for spreadhseets.

Thanks for any help and suggestions.

Hello members.
I guess the subject says it all. How does one go about creating custom ringtones with voiceover, say, from mp3 files? I'm yet to figure out how to use garage band with VO, which is the method suggested by most online guides.

Hello,
I am an Apple Music subscriber & have a particular song I would like to make into a ringtone.
I have not purchased this song. If I do, will it then let me use it as my ringtone?
I used to do this process quite a bit, but then Apple changed it and now I’m not sure of the exact steps.
The step I feel I may get stuck on is transferring the newly created ringtone to the iPhone.
Has anyone successfully gone through the process since Apple changed it and would be able to provide me updated information?

I've created a couple of custom vibration paterns for my iPhone 5C, and I have a fiew more that I want to create. Are there any other options besides touching the screen to make the paterns? I want to creat a vibration patern where it vibrates for exactly 2 seconds and stops for exactly 4 seconds. I also have a patern where I tried to create one continuous vibration while the phone is ringing, but it still stops for about a second every time the patern loops. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
