Hello, That is probably a bug since one can choose the position of where in the rotor each item is. In some cases, though like "Braille input" the rotor items float to the next position if they are listed at the top of the rotor item list in settings. Best wishes, Jonathan Cohn

It’s extremely easy to tell. If it’s an iMessage, then it’s coming from an Apple User. If it is a Text message, then it is from an Android user or organization using a third-party solution. That is an interesting question though if the source matters since my links I deal with come from third-

I wonder if it matters that the person sending the message is not using an Apple device. Of course it’s impossible to know in many cases whether an Apple device is being used. The links are coming from organizations, so who knows what device they used? Still, more often than not, way more often

The rotor is contextual. Items in the rotor are arranged depending upon the current situation. - Brad - On May 5, 2022, at 13:29, Phil Halton wrote: OK, I just tested this out as I was reading the thread, and it turns out there is a links in the router. It’s just that for some reason the lin

the way I do it is to turn the rotor to links but it doesn't stay there so it's hard to do. the way it's supposed to work is that you set the rotor to links and then swipe down with 1 finger till you hear the link you want. then tap it. > On May 5, 2022, at 11:13 AM, Phil Halton wrote: > > How

OK, I just tested this out as I was reading the thread, and it turns out there is a links in the router. It’s just that for some reason the links in the rotor position has been moved so when I want to find it in its usual position it wasn’t there and I assumed that there were no links in the mes

This used to work reliably. It’s been broken for quite some time, and yes I have reported it. Occasionally it works. Mostly it does not. Even when I’m right on the text that says “link“, when I turn my rotor to links and flick up or down, nothing. I don’t know why, but mostly it’s a Knogo. Sen

How does one go about interacting with links that are embedded in text messages in the iOS message app? I don’t use a lot of texting, but occasionally I need to click a link in a message that was sent to me and for the life of me I can’t find any way of clicking that link. It is reported by voic
