iOS and iPadOS
I have discovered that not all gestures need to be performed correctly to have them recognised and correctly performed by VoiceOver. For example, if you are listening to music that you wish to pause, a one-finger tap followed by a two-finger tap or vice versa is sufficient. This is the case for other gestures as well.
I'm not sure if this is a bug or Apple's new privacy policy.
Normally I can leave my phone on the table and say 'hey siri read my last message from Martin.
Siri now asks me to unlock my phone first. The whole point of hey siri is that you do not need to touch your phone.
It's not just for us blind people. What about people who have difficulty moving their hands or even no arms.
Is anybody experiencing this? It's really annoying.
Hey all, gotta quick question if ya know it. Do I need to deactivate youmail in order to take advantage of call screening? If so, I've always had my voicemails going through youmail and as such, already got to reading the transcriptions. Has apple's voicemail caught up to transcriptions for people who use it? Thanks.
Hi. I have a question about youplayer. I've been using it for some time now, and I absolutely love it! But... Now when I go in to the app and try to play a video, it doesn't go in to the video right away and give me all of the controls and options to either pause the video, play the video, previous track, ETC... I have to click on this other option first while the video is already playing. Then it allows me to see the controls of the video. But still while playing, it goes in and out of showing me the controls periodically and automatically back and forth as well.
I don't use Uber often because we have both buses and paratransit I can use more cheaply instead. But when I do need Uber, I do need it.
This morning when they closed our workplace early due to bad air (I live in Silicon valley and the smoke from the northern California fires is just sitting here) I had to Uber home. My ride choices were Uber Pool express and Economy , which didn't seem very economical at all at almost $40 to travel 15 miles. So I picked Uber pool Express, not realizing it was different than Uber pool.
Hello,
My name is John Petrous and I created a mobile application called Tappy Guide that helps cities and it's transportation systems become smarter for people with disabilities. We are similar to Be My Eyes and Aira. We provide wayfinding solutions for all people with disabilities.
I'm excited to introduce a new app I've developed for the iPhone.
I created this app to address a personal need, as I often needed a way to note down pathways I didn't frequently take and read them with ease.
A friend of mine liked it and said, "Hey, tweak a few things and release it. Many of us could find it useful."
Here are the app details:
I guess that you are all aware of the App Store ads, but I am not sure if you are aware of their implication on the market which may be totally unacceptable for disability products.
Dear All,
Alex from BreakR is here.
BreakR is a completely free voice messaging walkie-talkie style app capable of hands-free operation.
Our iOS app has been live for about a year and we are currently rethinking it with the aim to make a better communication tool for the blind and low-vision users.
We would greatly appreciate if any of you would spare a couple of minutes to answer a few questions about your experience of online communication:

Hello!
I want to send Youtube clips from my Iphone to chromecast audio, how to do this?
Hello, all. In all of my years of computer and iPhone usage, I have never done much with Youtube or with podcasting. So, I have finally very timidly put my toe into the water.
I did my first Youtube video last night using the iPhone 7 - about a minute and a half devotional thought. Someone liked it and mentioned that they would subscribe to a podcast if I were to do one.
Hello,
I use a youtube official app from Google as a guest. Do you have any ideas how to get rid of adds that pop out before or during a film? Maybe should I use another app to view youtube content or is there any way to pay and get rid of irritating apps wihile using the official youtube app?
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
I’ve got the latest model of the iPhone SE, and this issue has persisted from running iOS 17, latest version, to updating to the latest version of iOS 18 yesterday. I have updated to the latest version of the YouTube app, uninstalled and reinstall the app, restarted the phone, and tried anything else I can think of, with no luck. Essentially, I’m experiencing frequent YouTube app crashes, especially when interacting with the comments system. One reliable way I can trigger the error is by trying to sort comments under a video, such as by recent.
As of the latest YouTube for iOS update, the app freezes and ultimately crashes whenever I have a video open and I try to use the voice over three finger swipe gesture to scroll down toward the comments. Running an iPhone 8 with the latest version of iOS. Anyone else having this issue?
