It’s the Facebook messenger app that is the problem. Time for all of us to 
start reviewing them on the App Store and marking as 1 star, and then place a 
bug report in the review edit box along with the statement “not recommended for 
blind VoiceOver users until the problem is fixed”. This will get facebook’s 
attention a lot faster than contacting them via their apps.
