Hello Everyone, I am cross-posting this to both the V iPhone and Mac Visionaries mailing list.
As of the latest Twitter for iOS app, v7.14, released Saturday, December 16, 2017, VoiceOver users cannot activate URL, @, or # links located inside tweets. Please join me in reporting this issue. The following is the review I posted in the App Store. You are welcome to use any or all of it in your feedback to Twitter: [BEGIN REVIEW] [SUBJECT]: As of Latest App Update, The Visually Impaired Cannot Activate Links Inside Tweets [BODY]: Hello, As of the latest Twitter for iOS app, v7.14, released Saturday, December 16, 2017, the visually impaired, using VoiceOver, Apple's software screen reading solution for the blind and low vision, cannot activate URL, @, or # links located inside tweets.
