Odd, I have not experienced this issue. I have the known bugs with the lock screen, but everywhere else works just fine. Make sure Screen recognition is off. Also, try turning VO off and then back on. > On Sep 14, 2022, at 20:25, 'Donna Goodin' via MacVisionaries > wrote: > > No. I’m experie

Re: I recommend against upgrading to IOS 16

I’ve never experienced that until this upgrade. The strange thing about all this is that the behavior is very inconsistent. Sometimes I’ll double tap and everything’s good. Other times I can double-tap and double-tap forever and nothing happens. Cheers, Donna > On Sep 14, 2022, at 4:50 PM,

I also am not experiencing any “swiping” issues. Only problem I am having, is when I have Smart Invert (or Classic Invert) enabled, I am not able to access the AppSwitcher. I am able to remedy this situation by, turning off Smart Invert, and then restarting my iPhone. Once the phone restarts, the

Re: I recommend against upgrading to IOS 16

Jessica, I don’t usually call people from contacts, but what you are describing makes sense. It’s seems like there is some fundamental problem with VO focusing on an item and then holding that focus until I shift it by touching another element on the screen. What phone model do you have? Donna

Hi all, After approx 24 hours with IOS 16, I have come to the conclusion that my phone is only marginally usable. In addition to the swiping issue previously discussed, I’m also finding that often when I tap an icon or a mail message, the item will not open. Sometimes I can work around this b

iPhone SE VO not working

Hi, After closing the phone app the voice over shut off and has not come back on. I installed IOS 16 last night and this is the first time I tried the phone. I shut the phone off and back on a few times with no results. Is there a way with no sighted help to get VO back on? Of course I have tried

I am not sure verbosity is the issue. The same extra verbiage occurs on the Mac as well. I'm sure Apple could do it but they'd have to clean up the text elements and combine what we perceive as redundant. I've sent feedback in years past and see no change. From E.T.'s Keyboard... "Those who

Lol Thanks. I was thinking about doing the exact same thing. :) I guess it surprised me because there are so many options for configuring verbosity on the phone, iPad and Mac. I know VO on Apple TV is a little more limited, but still you’d think they’d give us some options for controlling how
