Apple Releases iOS 15.6 and iPadOS 15.6, Bringing a Fix for a Braille Focus Issue in Mail By AppleVis, 20 July, 2022
Apple has today released iOS 15.6 and iPadOS 15.6 to the public, both of which appear to focus on bug fixes and other under-the-hood improvements. Amongst the fixes is the following for Braille users: When editing an email in the Mail app using a braille display, after inserting a line break focus will no longer jump to the top of the screen. Additionally, iOS 15.6 introduces a new Web Rotor Summary setting located in Settings > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Verbosity. The options available are: Speak Braille Do Nothing These options control what additional information VoiceOver will speak when switching to some of the navigation methods available from the VoiceOver Rotor in Safari. For instance, the Headings and Links options will speak the number of each of these that are on the current webpage when this option is set to “Speak.” If set to “Do Nothing” this information will not be spoken by VoiceOver. At the time of posting, we are unaware of any additional changes for blind and low vision users in these releases. However, as we always stress, we are a small team; and it is not possible for us to test all devices, configurations, or use cases. Thus, if you do observe any changes during your own use of iOS 15.6 or iPadOS 15.6, please do let us know your findings in the comments.
