So the last time I updated the IOS on my phone, I was also forced to have the Health app. installed on it. I have no need for this app. and do not feel that apple should have the right to decide which apps. to throw at me with every update.
I cannot remove this app. hence have to live with it on my phone whether I like it or not.
Hi its Carlos,
I just updated my new Iphone 6s to ios 9.1.
and my question is when I went to settings general and software update,
it started downloading the ios 9.1 version automaticly.
I thought I had to press a down load button if I wanted to download the new version,
but that was not the case.
I did have to press an install button and agree to the terms before installing.
I asked the apple accessibility folks about it and I was told it should not have downloaded automaticly.
So they were confused and sent it up.
Overall, I have found the iOS Google apps to be very accessible/usable with VoiceOver. For example:
Google+, Snapseed, Photos, Google My Business, Inbox, Chrome, Hangouts, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Search app, Play Books, etc.
It would be great to have a discussion and have input from others:
who have Googlefied their iOS experience and
how you find the VoiceOver accessibility of Google apps works for you?
Thanks!
Introduction.
We have an iPhone SE 2022 taking on a Google pixel, seven. Both of 128 GB of storage, both are released in the same here, both on the latest version of iOS, iOS 16, and android 13. Later this year, they will get the updates to iOS 17 and android 14.
I know we aren’t comparing the phones, all we’re doing is comparing the operating systems in 2023.
Setup.
Okay these are my opinions and only that. This hopefully will spark discussion which is good. First it is worth noting I was on Android for years. I got tired of the lack of accessibility and not being able to use all apps. A lot of apps didn't work properly with a Physical keyboard and I couldn't get the gestures. I kept hearing Apple is accessible so I figured try it and there you go. The level of accessibility is outstanding. I use a Rivo2 keyboard which is wonderful. You can check out more info about the Rivo2 at
Hi, guys. I was super excited to hear that voice over will be able to describe images in IOS 11. Does this mean games like Farm Story and Sim City will be more accessible? Does anyone have thoughts on this?
A friend told me yesterday that he could not leave a voicemail msg for me because my voicemail was full and would accept no further messages. I was not aware my voicemail was full. Does IOS have a feature which can notify me when this is the case? I have an iPhone 6 and am running IOS 12. Thanks much.
Hi everyone. Hope you're doing well and staying safe. I recently got a brand-new iPad mini I'm in electronic musician so I have a good grasp of audio fundamentals. Upon discovering my new iPad mini I came across an option a VoiceOver called audio route. I'm guessing it's to route the VoiceOver audio to different destinations but I don't know how it works please can somebody explain to me how it works. Thank you very much everyone and happy Christmas.
Hi,
I'm new here and while I personally don't use iOS myself, I would like to learn more because I work with someone who does use iOS and the VoiceOver feature. I know that with a keyboard it is possible to use the find text feature by pressing VO-F. Does anyone know if it is possible to access this on an iPhone without using a keyboard? I am also not blind or visually impaired so I am not very familiar with the accessibility features to begin with.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
Hello AppleVis community! I have a few questions I hope you can answer about voices.
I have an ipad mini 4 running iOS 10, (Which I love but there are some bugs that are effecting how I have to use the iPad which I reported to accessibility line). However, ever since I've had the iPad mini 4, I've used Samantha. While I like her for the most part, I'd like to try a few of the other voices but I've got some questions that I hope you can help me answer.
Hi all,
As someone who was once on iOs for most things and is now largely using android, I just thought I'd post a list of things I like about each platform to hopefully provide some interesting disgussion.
Why I switched to android:
Are there any weather apps that allow you to listen to the various NOAA weather radio feeds throughout the country? I used to have the NOAA weather radio app on my iPhone 8 and could listen to the Nashville, TN NOAA weather radio feed as well as several others. However, Now, when I try to listen to that particular feed, it tells me that the feed is off line. I have a portable NOAA weather radio but also like to listen to the feeds on my iPhone. Thanks for any information anyone can provide. I don't want to pay for an app unless I can listen to the feeds.
Hi everyone,
I hope you're all doing well. I'm curious: In your opinion, what is the most accessible free web browser on iPhone?
Thanks, and have a nice day!
Navigating iOS WhatsApp message threads is becoming very difficult with VoiceOver. Management of focus position, especially after performing an action is atrocious, it jumps largely back up the thread losing your position, this happens a lot especially on a busy thread. How can we get Meta to take heed of these issues #WhatsApp #VoiceOver #Accessibility #A11Y #iOS
Hi all,
I would like to suggest to Apple to add a new feature into IOS.
It would be nice if I would get a notification from my iPhone when batery charging finished is. I usually ask Siri what's my batery percentage while iPhone is charging, but this feature will be very helpfull.
Kind regards,
Tea Turkovic
Hello:
I am using an iPad running iOS 11.2 with a keyboard. When typing in text fields, iOS is suggesting words. I am wondering, using a keyboard, how I can browse the list of suggested words and select one. Does anyone know the keystrokes neccessary to do this?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I've had the WorkFlow app for a while now, but I've just started playing with it. I've made two useful workflows. One speaks the contents of the clipboard. The other sends the document I'm working on to my WordPress blog. What workflows have you created that you find useful?
Hi all
I purchased VoiceDream Writer and it seems that the app is not doing what I am expecting it to do. I set the formatting using the markdown syntax detailed in the help manual, when exporting the text to Word document on PC and Mac the formatting is not preserved. However, when I preview the text on my iPad the formatting is flawless. Not to mention the poor markdown syntax; bulleting, italics, bold, numbered lists are not enough.
So I am in search for another app that should support VO and it has above average formatting markdown.
Thanks all
I'm kind of undecided since $100 is $100 Mexican, on whether to get the Drafts app from

Hi all,
First post on this forum, so apologies if this should go in the AppleTV one.
I'm noticing an odd thing when trying to use Airplay from various IOS devices. I do the folllowing:
1. start the track/app whose audio I want to put out to other speakers;
2. Activate control centre and select "airplay".
3. in my list of devices, the AppleTv appears, however it seems to be only mirroring video. No audio is sent from the IOS device to the AppleTv.
Anyone seen this or know a fix?
Thanks a lot.
