Hi, I'm having a weird problem with safari on my iphone which basically makes safari unusable. When I try to edit/type a web address, VO does not read the keyboard, though I'm told by a sighted person that it's there - VO just makes those sounds on it like it does when there's nothing on the screen. Even if I double tap where the keys show, nothing appears in the address bar. Additionally, the buttons at the bottom of safari for "back", "forward", "bookmarks" e.t.c. are just announced by VO as "left arrow" for back, "right arrow" for forward and nothing at all except "tab" for the others - it calls them "tab" instead of "button" like it does normally. Apparently the icons for those buttons do look different to normal.
If I view a page via the gmail app - where it opens the link kind of in safari within gmail - all is normal and fine. But if I press that button which says "open in safari" it goes to the normal safari and goes wrong/odd again. I tried closing all the tabs, quitting and restarting safari, restarting my phone and restarting VO which made no difference. Does this ring any bells for anyone? I checked to see if there any ios updates available and there aren't. The only other thing I can think of that might have made a difference was that yesterday, in between the time safari was working normally and when it started behaving oddly, I put in a lightning to 3.5mm adapter to use some earphones. When I put it in, the phone asked me whether this accessory was to use headphones and I said yes. It also said something about being able to change this option later somewhere. I'm no longer using the adapter as I was borrowing it for a few hours. But I'm wondering if somehow that made safari go wrong. But I can't find where to change that option - have looked everywhere I can think and searched in settings. Perhaps anything relating to that adapter would only appear when I connect it again. I'm going to borrow it again but has anyone any idea where I'd look for info about/to change options relating to that adapter? If not, I guess it's a phone reset...
