Hi Access Indians,
Have identified a couple of issues with recent WhatsApp releases and compiled a documentation along with screen-captures. Forwarding this email sent to [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> ; this email address is listed on their site for Accessibility related contact. Urge you to review the content and send to WhatsApp Accessibility team so that these can be prioritized at their end and resolved at the earliest. *Note that these issues are faced on Android devices. A few of them have workarounds however, permanent fixes will be of greater help. Warm Regards, Zujar Where there's a will, there's a way!
