Re: Telegram Messenger is now accessible for the blind
Re: Telegram Messenger is now accessible for the blind Yes you can delete through the actions on iOS. Telegram is almost as good as whatsapp with these accessibility things dealt with. You people poo pooing Telegram should be more ok with it. The more messaging programs with encryption the better. If you think this one sucks, use the one you think is secure from the people reading your messages then.

Re: Telegram Messenger is now accessible for the blind
Re: Telegram Messenger is now accessible for the blind On Android at least, I can delete messages by using custom actions in the Talkback's local context menu. Possibly rorot actions are available on iOS too, but I don't have an iOS device so somebody else would have to address that.

Re: Telegram Messenger is now accessible for the blind
Re: Telegram Messenger is now accessible for the blind Hi!Has anybody tried this out? I heard that you can not join groups, delete messages and do other staff too, so I was wondering if it's better to wait some more or the app is worth it as it is now.Thanks!

Re: Telegram Messenger is now accessible for the blind
Re: Telegram Messenger is now accessible for the blind The irony of this all, Android was a complete mess when it comes to accessibility, and then Google took a major turn with Jellybean. Are you also ungrateful to them? Should we not use Android? Same with Microsoft's Narrator, and with a bunch of other companies.

Re: Telegram Messenger is now accessible for the blind
Re: Telegram Messenger is now accessible for the blind Completely agreed. Github's purpose is to make developers calaborate with each other. So I see nothing wrong in this. Plus these guys that are sending screenshots and videos everywhere to shout "Blindgram developers have helped telegram developers to make their application accessible" just shows the blind community worse than what it is. Yeah. I say worse than what it is because googling audio games forum and getting into this website, shows the searcher some topics that really do not deserve to be here.

Re: Telegram Messenger is now accessible for the blind
Re: Telegram Messenger is now accessible for the blind Unfortunately, sometimes it takes a large effort from the community to get the attention of a company. Is it sad? Absolutely. But often after the point is made, and the company makes the changes it's being asked to, with or without help, the changes persist and said company changes for better. As another example of this, look at Netflix. Their apps used to be horrible to use with a screen reader and they didn't offer any audio description. The cries got even louder when Daredevil came out... It took a few years, but when Netflix added description to it, they also did a complete 180. Now their apps are mostly very easy to use with Screen Readers and they offer the largest, nearly globally available catalog of described content and are very much in the lead with describing any new releases.Telegram open-sourced their apps. Anyone could fork the client and make changes to it. If the accessibility changes were out there in the public I think there's nothing wrong with the telegram devs taking a shortcut and using them to get a headstart, saving precious developer time in the process. The real test will be seeing if they are commited to keeping the accessibility in the good state it's in now, which considering they released on both iOS and Android might be the case. Now if all the developers of the alternative clients do is loudly complain that Telegram took a shortcut and used their code, they should seriously stop because they're sending the wrong message about the blind community and I wouldn't blame the Telegram devs for deciding maintaining accessibility isn't worth it if all these people do is b. If the issue is that these alternative apps were making money off of the fact the official client was inaccessible, nothing is stopping them from adding additional features making their apps stand out so people have an incentive to keep using and buying them.

Re: Telegram Messenger is now accessible for the blind
Re: Telegram Messenger is now accessible for the blind Alireza. That's not a wise move to beg for them not to add more accessibility to telegram because they didn't do that until now. If they even are colabirating with blindgram developers, It's still completely fine since it is official, and it refuses to provide messages to government. I'm not saying, by any means, that blindgram devs did such a horible thing but blindgram developers doing that makes a lot more sense than official telegram developers doing it. I appritiate their work. If blindgram developers are helping them, I'm thankful of them, too. It is great to see the official free telegram messanger is becoming accessible for the blind and no one can expect any cash for a free application like before. That's one of the main reasons that i'm glad about. Plus I think that official telegram has a better performence than telelight. IDK about blindgram as I never had it. Oh and there's another thing to support official telegram. Whenever telegram updates, we'll have the latest version accessible, as soon as mainstream has it. Unlike before that we had to wait for kinda long time for telelight or blindgram developers to release the accessible update.Also jumping on telegram developers for the reason that they didn't add accessibility so far until someone helped them isn't a wise move either. A lot of organisations and companies are being told a thousand times to add accessibility to there applications and they didn't do that.

Re: Telegram Messenger is now accessible for the blind
Re: Telegram Messenger is now accessible for the blind Man, I could not care less why they made it accessible. What's with some people who cannot wait to bring some argument into a topic? Just use the app and enjoy, or don't use it and skip the topic. If you have constructive complaints about it, then go ahead, but sorry, a screenshot wont help the majority of the forum and you know it really well. Again, a great point that I was also going to bring up is that iOS did not have any 3rd party clients which work with voiceover, and hey, open source is there for collaboration, so I cannot see what is wrong even if all you say is true.

Re: Telegram Messenger is now accessible for the blind If he gave only 30 seconds of his time to try the app, he would not make such a stupid comment about copying the source.
