This is true. If you stop on a subscription, you can't go further to the right to see the next one.Really easy fix though.Slide 1 finger from top to bottom and it should work for you that way.Not the most ideal way to do things, but i'd rather have this than nothing at all.Sent from my iPhoneOn Mar 2, 2023, at 2:30 PM, mi...@eastlink.ca wrote:Hi no it is not gone as far as the subscription bug now when you swipe right vo reads the subscriptions but you can’t swipe left since vo will continu to read the subscription again and again and again so if you have 3 subscriptions vo will only read the first one in the list and nothing changes when you choose the picker and choose things like date I am using a I phone 8.

I received a reply from Apple Accessibility this morning which states that they are aware of the issue and they are investigating.
I assume this may have had something to do with the App Store and certain App Store changes have always been done on the backend and they are not necessarily connected to iOS itself which would explain why this is happening with iOS 15, iOS 16.3 as well as
 iOS 16.4 public beta.
I would think this is something which Apple will fix sooner rather than later.
As for using screen recognition this still does not work for me even if I wait 10 seconds or 20 seconds, I have backed out of subscriptions after turning it on and gone back and it does not give me anything except what I also see without screen recognition.

Although it wouldn’t be ideal by any means, when I checked just now, I could turn on screen recognition while in the list of apps to which I was subscribed, and I could then actually view that list of applications. I could also double tap on one of the apps
 to which I was subscribed, then turn off screen recognition, And then I could see the option to cancel that subscription if I wanted to do so.

Good morning,
To put the keyboard in pairing mode, you press  either F1, F2, or F3.
Each key corresponds to a different device to which it is paired.

Re: Vaxination Card In Apple Wallet in Canada?

[CrazyEyez]

The ontario website says you can put your vaccination certificate in health on 
iPhone running IOS 15 or later.
I can try with a family member's phone and let you know how hard it is to set 
up.
Of course if you don't live in Ontario, you'll have to check with your province.

Man its 2021. People are a bunch of dramatic crybabies.

Re: Battery Is not Charging and I can't Type

[CrazyEyez]

Hi,
Maybe its a dumb idea, but have  you tried backing up your phone and doing a 
restore?
If it doesn't help, i'd take it to apple.
See what they say, specially if your device still has warranty.
Good luck.

I'm thrilled to hear that i'm not the only 1.
I had it in safari, and well. It was blank for a while until I managed to spin

Hope its possible to fix it soon.

Re: Could a smart backpack replace guide dogs? Researchers think so. - The Washington Post

[CrazyEyez]

lol what happens when it rains and you don't have good signal, or if your 
batteries are low, or if you have to send your unit in for service or repair?
You get folks reliant on tech, and they're useless without it.
Cool idea, but it'll never ever replace the cane, or a dog which loves you and 
plays with you.

Re: VO voices on Apple Watch series 6

[CrazyEyez]

You are correct.
Unfortunately I updated, and there is no way to go back on apple watch.
This is the reason I haven't tried the beta on apple watch.
I really thought about it though.

Re: VO voices on Apple Watch series 6

[CrazyEyez]

Hi,

My girlfriend and I both got new apple watches 2 weeks ago.
Both are 44 mm wifi only models.

Out of the box we  were able to use the siri voice.
I had to reset mine because I was having connection problems.
I have lost the capability to use the siri voice.
The other watch is just fine.
I also don't care for samantha, so I went to Australia voice.
I've tried everything I could possibly think of to get the siri voice back and 
nothing works.
Cellular has nothing to do with it.
I guess some are more lucky than others.

Re: iPhones can now tell blind users where and how far away people are

[CrazyEyez]

Honestly, I'm not going to walk around with my phone in my left hand and my 
cane in the other.
How am I to carry stuff?
Only way this could maybe work is if they had this in glasses, or if there was 
a chest rig for your phone.
Also, You're more likely to get beat up by an american rioter than you are to 
contracting the virus by bumping into someone.
Unless you kiss the hell out of them as an apology, you're fine.
Continue on living your lives.
Don't worry about the virus or you will die of stress before the flu can get 
you!

Re: What do you like about your apple watches?

[CrazyEyez]

I'm also getting an apple watch.
I'm leaning toward the 6 because of the somewhat faster processor, blood oxygen 
tracking, and the ECG.
Most likely I won't be using those features extensively, but i'm keeping the 
watch for 2 years at least, so why not start with the best I can get at the 
time.

Honestly, people are dumb.
They'll start a petition over anything, even if its their fault something

I don't feel bad for you in the least.
We should start a petition to remove the idiot who started this whole mess from

Moderator remove this garbage thread please.
It shows true stupidity.

Re: $300 Payment By ApplePay?

[CrazyEyez]

I do not use apple pay, so I do not know for sure.
However, In Canada we have tap. Pretty much you hold your card over the reader 
instead of inserting it.
The limit for that is $100.
Anything more and you're out of luck.
Because apple pay works on a similar principle, i'd imagine that the $100 limit 
would be in place.
I'm  interested to find out if this is the case.

Simply download the 12.4.1 IPSW file and downgrade.

Re: The Accessibility Bugs Introduced and Resolved in iOS 13 for Blind and Low Vision Users | AppleVis

Man apple people who write code for this software need to lose their jobs.
Each and every one of them.
There's no excuse for all these bugs.
Lay off the drugs.I don't understand how they can release this garbage.
Get rid of the useless dead weight, and find people who actually know what they 
are doing.

Re: iPhone11, 11-Pro & 11ProMax From Blindness Perspective?

[CrazyEyez]

I'm not sure either, but I'd like to believe that a better camera equals better 
text recognition also.
I prefer the bigger phone for braille screen input.
Besides, i'm used to having the bigger size now, since i've had the bigger 
screen from 7 plus.

Re: iPhone11, 11-Pro & 11ProMax From Blindness Perpective?

[CrazyEyez]

Hi,
According to apple, the iPhone 11 pro max will have 5 hours more battery life 
than the XS Max.
Also, supposedly the pro models can stay submerged in deeper water.
The glass is supposed to be better,
and as you mentioned the pro model has a third camera lens.
It all depends what you want out of it.

Re: How can I get messages not to be muted?

[CrazyEyez]

Open the messages app, and go to the main screen where your conversations are.
Find the person in question, and swipe up.
There is a choice.
Either hide alerts, or show alerts.
This is the only thing I can think of off the top of my head.
Hope it helps.

Re: Reparing a Screen

[CrazyEyez]

If you paid for the extra apple care, it shouldn't cost you more than $100.
I remember a few years back, we had a phone that had a cracked screen, and they 
replaced the whole phone for a price.

I've tried double tapping, double tapping and holding, and nothing happens.

Some have said that they have a work around, but never told what they did 
different.

 Good for you.
 I'm glad you have no issues.
 However, I do have the issue of the collapse video button not working on

 Since you know for a fact that there isn't an issue with youtube, then 
 tell us what's wrong with our phones.

Okay.
Since you all are in so tight with the folks at google, and you've figured out 
the app, please enlighten the rest of us as to the work around you use.
Just because things work a bit different does not mean it is policy, or not 
worth noting.

What is the new policy?
Don't contact google to resolve issues, or take away the collapse button?
I'm lost.

Re: Please don't consider contacting Youtube to report the issues with the lates version 13.08 of their iOS app with VoiceOver

[CrazyEyez]

Good for you.
I'm glad you have no issues.
However, I do have the issue of the collapse video button not working on my 8 
plus.
Since you know for a fact that there isn't an issue with youtube, then tell us 
what's wrong with our phones.

Re: Announcement: Blind Shooters (unmoderated discussion group)

Actually firearms are legal in the UK, if you're into those things.
It wasn't difficult to join the group.
If you don't want to join, don't. Nobody cares.

Re: iPhone SE

[CrazyEyez]

yes, there is a headphone jack.
I looked at the phone's specs on the apple store.
It says nothing about making changes to the headphone jack, and when you look 
at what comes in the box, it says earpods.
I'm excited for this phone, and plan to get it as soon as I can.

Re: Had a long talk with Apple and think I might have the battery draining issue resolved.

Apples answer to everything is restore, or do a hard reset.
They need to fix the issues that they broke in this latest version.

Stop giving us workarounds, and give us a fix for  the damn problem!

Re: Safari in 7.1

[CrazyEyez]

I noticed it as well, I was tripping out first, like where the hell did my 
address bar go?
But I do like this new feature.

 Has anyone noticed in safari that the address button now says the name of
 the web site you are on instead of just saying address button?
 I think this is a good change.

Re: after IOS update lost partial keyboard function

[CrazyEyez]

Hello,
Has anyone had these issues with the actual keyboard that is on the phone?
My girlfriend can't type on her keyboard, because it keeps switching between 
letters and numbers and slides through a bunch of symbols.
The only workaround that we have, is using Siri every time that she wants to 
input text.
If anyone has had this problem, or knows how to work around it, I would greatly 
appreciate it.
Thanks.

 It's happening to me too. I thought the batteries had gone on my Apple

 Best wishes
