iOS and iPadOS

I just updated to iOS 11 and am running an iPhone 6S. Since the update, VoiceOver does not always announce my notifications, whether the device is locked or unlocked. I have it set to show previews always in the notification center. Once, when I rebooted the phone and it restarted, it did announce notifications for awhile but then stopped again. I was wondering if this is a bug or if anyone else has experienced this issue or if there is another setting that I need to change. Thanks.

In the latest IOS18.3.2... When I swipe up to app switcher and there are no apps open, my iPhone 16E just vibrates. It does not say "app switcher has no items" anymore. Is this a bug? Also, when I unlock my phone, it just vibrates. It used to play an unlock sound that kind of sounded like a camera plunk sound, but different. Is there a way I can get this sound back? My phone is not on mute or silent, the mute switch is turned off in control center.

I have noticed since installing iOS 8.3 that voiceOver does not announce on/off labels. For example, it does not say "Share my location, on or off," in iCloud. This is frustrating as I need to know whether something is on or off. This applies elsewhere as well.

Website previews in Facebook posts are not being announced by voiceover as of of the past several weeks. This is true whether you are in the newsfeed itself or if you double tap to open the post to interact with it. You will hear the name of the Facebook user or page, The date of the post and the summary or caption they’ve typed as part of the post, but if they’ve included a link to a website, this is not announced at all.

After updating my iphone to 8.2, voiceover doesnt announce that my phone is starting up on startup. Is anyone else experiencing this? Is it a setting i can change?

Hello, I am having a problem with my I phone 6 which I receieved at the end of last month, the keypad doesn't make a tone when I dial phone numbers, I have done everything that Apple United Kingdom have advised me to do, but it still doesn't work. is their something wrong with the device or do I need to go in to an apple store to get this sorted? I did go in to an apple store, but the member of staff didn't have a clue as to what the problem was.

I would be grateful, if someone can get back to me.

Yours Faithfully,

I have used Microsoft outlook calendar for sometime but recently, neither of my iPhone SE phones will let me navigate around Outlook calendar.

I was wondering if it’s specific to this phone or is the app no longer accessible?

Hello applevis users.
I ran across a problem the other day. I got a incoming call on my watch and my hphone of course, I was trying to see who was calling using voiceover on my phone but it was like my phone was muted I had the switch on mute when I flipped it from mute on, to mute off, then my voiceover speech came back. have any of you ran into this I'm running IOS 10.2, so when the ophone was on silent mode I couldn't hear the speech when the call came in.

I'm running iOS 15.1 on an iPhone 10R. When composing an email or text message, or when creating a new note (Notes app), I occasionally want to add an emoji. The emoji shows up in the text area but VoiceOver is not reading what the emoji is. Never had that problem before. May be new with 15.1. Anyone else having this issue? Thanks

I just upgraded to version 65 and found that Voiceover no longer reads page titles, addresses or previews anymore. Touching the entry in the news feed announces the poster's name (Rolling Stone, or NPR, for example) and any text in the post itself, but nothing at all about the link. I thought maybe double tapping to open the post would help, but even when in the screen with the post, page info is not spoken. This is a major accessibility problem and needs to be reported asap.

Hello,

I upgraded to an iPhone 6s Plus and I bought a simple case with a door to protect the screen. I have been encountering a very strange problem. When the screen is locked and I close the door that protects the screen, I can hear the sound that alerts me of incoming notifications, but VoiceOver doesn’t read them. If the door is open, VoiceOver behaves normally and reads the notifications. Has anyone encountered this behaviour?

Hello all,

whenever I set the VoiceOver rotor to read by line, for example, in long paragraphs on webpages or emails, VoiceOver omits the first character at the beginning of any given line except for the first line of a paragraph. It happens only if reading by line in forward direction, as previous lines are correctly read in full, with some exceptions detailed below.

I have a question about VoiceOver’s behavior when tracking updates on a focused item. I’m using the Echo app during my workouts, and there’s a feature I really love – being able to ask Siri for my heart rate. It’s super convenient, and I use it all the time. However, what I found even cooler was that I could place my VoiceOver focus on the heart rate display, and it would automatically read out the changes to me throughout the workout. This meant I could listen to my music while still staying informed about my heart rate.

I'm using IOS9 and would like to know if anyone else has encountered the below Voiceover bug. I have reported it to apple accessability but they say they can't reproduce it and to contact apple care.

Hi,

when I switch to another keyboard language on iOS 9 using a Bluetooth keyboard, VoiceOver still behaves as if the language was not changed until VoiceOver is turned off and on again. However, this problem affects only the VoiceOver related features such as VoiceOver keyboard shortcuts, keyboard help, or search in window items activated with VO + F. Otherwise, for example, in text fields or when using app keyboard shortcuts, the change of the keyboard language is respected properly and immediately.

Good morning,
Ever since I installed iOS 17.1.1, I’ve been having an issue where voiceover refuses to say the word search.
This issue occurs in three different places. The App Store, the podcasts app, and the Mona app.
I even went so far as to restore both my phone and iPad, But that did not help.
Both devices are running the same version of the operating system and exhibiting the same behavior.
Does anyone know what might be going on here?

Hi,
There is a bug where if I type in something, VO remains silent. My typing feedback is set to Characters and Words and it still doesn't work. Rebooting my device solves nothing. Is this a bug that you people are having as well? Hopefully Apple fixes it.

Hi all,

I am using an Iphone 13 mini. This phone is updated to the latest IOS release.

My camera was working fine this morning. Voiceover would speak all elements as I flicked to them and activated them with a single finger double tap.

Suddenly, now when I get into my camera app, Voiceover is totally unresponsive as I move my finger around the screen and/or flick left/right. I hear little clicks, but nothing else.

Voiceover is working as it should with all other apps.

I am using iOS 14.7.1 awith an iPhone XR.
