Thank you so much for your prompt reply. Are you able to access the videos shared by your friends who have shared their friends post that have a link? Let me illustrate...
Suppose I shared a video from Youtube on Facebook. A friend of mine likes the share and he/she too shares it on his/her wall. This post of the share will appear in my feed. But in such a case I am not able to activate the link in the share. Sorry to have been a bother to you on this issue. I am just trying to understand on how to get this done and see if it needs a working with Facebook on their app. I have friends of friends who can get some accessibility recommendations through to Facebook. Also do you know anyone who has done reviews on IOS apps. From an accessibility perspective? Like complete details on the app. PS. I am not looking for reviews on apps. For the blind like Tap Tap See etc. Mujtaba Merchant Bangalore, India "Motivation is what gets you started, habit is what keeps you going." ~ Jim Rohn -----Original Message----- From: Mobile.accessindia [mailto:mobile.accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in] On Behalf Of Aaruni Sharma Sent: Saturday, August 30, 2014 1:59 PM To: Dedicated AccessIndia list for discussing accessibility of mobile phones and Tabs.
