Some people want help, but when you offer it they won't act on it and then they are miserable because nobody helps them.

I asked this person if I could listen to her use her iPhone over her land line so I could hear what's being reported or not reported by Voiceover, and in this way I might be able to help, but I haven't heard anything back. So, I emailed her the phone number for Apple Accessibility and maybe they can help her, if she calls them! Stay safe & take care. Mike.

We would be a lot more likely to help if she could describe specifically what she is attempting to do as opposed to saying the phone doesn’t allow her to swipe when she’s in Voiceover. Ask her to go to page 1 of her home screen, turn Voiceover on, place focus on the first icon in the upper left of the screen, and then to repeatedly single finger flick or swipe right so that Voiceover announces each icon as it advances among them. If that works for her, I suspect the problem is with the operator, not the phone. If this is her first iDevice, it’s going to take more than a short learning period to get adept at using it regardless of how quickly she’s caught on to her other adaptive equipment.

Can someone help her out? Her query is below. Yes, Mike it is an I phone the problem now is that it will not allow me or my sighted neighbor to swipe when it is in voice over. When she turns off voice over it has no problem. That is where I am stuck. It is a 12 Mini. I'm going to give myself a fairly short learning period and then it is going back. I have caught on to all my other adaptive equipment quite readily so this is a very disappointing venture for me. Barbara All help is greatly appreciated. Thanks much. Stay safe & take care. Mike.
