Thanks for looking into it, Richard. I hope it does show up again when the Mac 
app is released. I'm a very new Mac user and haven't installed any apps on it 
yet, but that might be something to look into when it comes out.

Hello Everyone,
If you would like to have your iPhone automatically announce when the 
battery level falls below a certain percentage, with VoiceOver enabled, do 
the following:
1.
Launch the Shortcuts app.
2.
Select the Automation tab, located near the bottom of the display.
3.
Select the Add button, located near the top right corner of the display.  A 
list of choices will appear.
4.
Select Battery Level.  A new screen will appear.
5.
Adjust the slider to the desired battery level that will automatically 
activate the shortcut.  The default level is 50%.
6.
On this same screen, select the "Falls Below" option.  Of course, you 
should select either of the other two options in this area, as well.
7.
In the third and final area of this screen, select the "Run Immediately" 
option.  Selecting this option will cause another option to be displayed 
said option being to not only announce the battery level but to also place 
a notification in the notifications area.
8.
Select the Next button located near the top right corner of the display.  A 
new screen will appear.
Now the following step is where we, as VoiceOver users, have to take one 
extra step than does our sighted counterpart because of what I assume is a 
small VoiceOver bug that, in essence, is of no real consequence, at this 
point.
9.
Select the "Get Started" Button.
10.
Select "Speak Text" by performing either the VO split Tap or the VO pass 
through gesture.  This will both select and open the first level of options 
to the Speak Text function.
11.
Place VO focus on the line that VO reads as "Speak Text".
12.
Single-finger, swipe up until you hear "Edit text," and select this option. 
 The edit field for the "Speak Text" function will open and you can either 
use the keyboard or dictation, to type the text that the TTS engine will 
announce. For example, "Mark, you devilishly handsome guy, the battery 
level has fallen below 50 percent."
13.
Select the Done button located just above the on-screen keyboard, on the 
right side of the display.
14.
Test the announcement by selection the "Run this Shortcut" button, located 
near the bottom right corner of the display.
15.
Finally, select the Done button, located near the top right corner of the 
display.
16.
Close the Shortcuts app.
That's all there is to it.  The next time the battery level falls below the 
percentage you designated, it will be automatically announced,outloud.
Mark

You're very welcome, John.
So glad you like it and that it works for you.
I have my phone announce when the battery level drops below 80%, 60%, and 40%.  
Of course, each of these announcements requires its own shortcut.
Again, you're very welcome.

For some time now I have been using Siri voice3 British dialect with my iPhone 
15 Pro Max.
For some reason it keeps losing the voice and reverting to Daniel.  This has 
been happening when the device is on its wireless charger over night.
If I want to restore the voice it is necessary to redownload it in the morning.
Sadly this issue persists in the latest beta.
It used to occurs on my Apple Watch too but this is no longer the case.
I wonder how many people will remember the song, Does Your Chewing Gum Lose 
It's Flavour (On the Bedpost Overnight? Lonnie Donegan.  Well perhaps we could 
now sing:  Does your iPhone lose its voices on the charger overnight?

Any thoughts welcome.

Hello,
I have the exact same issue and I've had it since iOS 17.0.
All of my SIRI voices are automatically deleted when charging.
I use Norwegian SIRI 1 as my default voice and UK English 3 and U.S.
English SIRI 4 in my language rotor.
I've re-downloaded all voices a lot and I'm tired of that, so I have
given up and now just use the compact voices.
It may be some kind of iCloud sync issue but I'm not sure.

I have the same problem, but only after updating any iOS version beginning 
with iOS17...  After an iOS17 update my Voiceover switches from Siri voice 1 
United States to Siri voice 2 United States.
I've have to redownload Siri voice 1 United States and then switch to it 
after every iOS17 update so far.  Didn't have any problems like this with 
any earlier iOS versions.  It's not a big deal, just something different.
Take care.  Mike.  Sent from my iBarstool.

Since updating to iOS 17.3 (21D5026f) my iPhone loses Siri UK voice 4 each day. 
I make now abandoned using Siri voices for now, I will retry in a later version.
Mike, I think I will visit my favourite barstool in my local pub for medicinal 
purposes you understand.

I've have to redownload Siri voice 1 United States and then switch to it after 
every iOS17 update so far. Didn't have any problems like this with any earlier 
iOS versions. It's not a big deal, just something different.
Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool.

I use the North American Siri Voice 4 as my primary voice for Voiceover and 
this is not an issue at all. I wonder what causes this to happen for you.

For some time now I have been using Siri voice3 British dialect with my iPhone 
15 Pro Max.
For some reason it keeps losing the voice and reverting to Daniel. This has 
been happening when the device is on its wireless charger over night.
If I want to restore the voice it is necessary to redownload it in the morning.
Sadly this issue persists in the latest beta.
It used to occurs on my Apple Watch too but this is no longer the case.
I wonder how many people will remember the song, Does Your Chewing Gum Lose 
It's Flavour (On the Bedpost Overnight? Lonnie Donegan. Well perhaps we could 
now sing: Does your iPhone lose its voices on the charger overnight?
Any thoughts welcome.

I sent a reply to the thread about StarplayrX and SiriusXM a few hours ago; 
however, I'm subscribed in digest mode and I forgot to change the subject line 
to reflect the specific topic. I tried searching for StarplayrX this morning 
and couldn't find it. I typed the name into the search field as it was written 
in the list discussion and got no results. I mostly listen to SiriusXM on my 
Echo Studio but have decided that it would be good to purchase StarplayrX for 
times when that isn't an option. Thanks in advance for any help.

I did some checking.
The maker of StarplayrX is Todd Bruss and on his web site, it says they are 
working on a whole new Mac version ... nothing about iOS, but the app is not 
showing up in the app store for me either.  Though, my copy is now working just 
fine.
I even checked in the app store on my phone under purchased apps and while it 
shows I downloaded it on August 5th 2022, it is not showing up currently.
I suspect when they get their Mac version done, it will show up again.  Fingers 
crossed.

Hi,
According to Apple, Voiceover users can use the haptic time feature by tapping 
the screen of the apple Watch twice with one finger to get the time in hours 
and minutes and tap three times if you know the hour and only want minutes 
indicated.
The prerequesit is that the Apple Watch screen is off/asleep.
In a recent discussion it seems many people say for them this works only 
reliably if you tap the screen 3 times for hours and minutes and 4 times for 
minutes.
I found with my Apple Watch series 5 40mm that haptic time rarely worked.
I now have an Apple Watch Ultra 2 and I discovered the following which probably 
applies also to my series 5, but I haven't checked it yet although I still have 
the series 5 because I'm a bit of a prograstinater when it comes to selling 
stuff.
Here is what I discovered:
I have a daily "sleep" focus set which starts at 10:30 PM and it stops at 7 AM.
I found that if it is past 10:30 PM, e.g. the sleep focus is active, a 1-finger 
double tap does nothing except it wakes up the display, but a 3-finger tap 
starts hours and minutes in haptic time and a quadruple tap does just the 
minutes.
However, during the day, e.g. after 7 AM and before 10:30 PM when the sleep 
focus is not active, the double tap Apple says one should use works just fine 
and the triple tap gives me just minutes even though when the sleep focus is 
active it will give me hours and minutes.
I just wrote Apple Accessibility a message regarding this because I assume this 
is a bug, but not sure until they reply.
What I don't understand is that why we can't use the regular gesture for haptic 
time. Yes, haptic time is not actually an accessibility feature, it is 
available to all Apple Watch users in Settings > Clock as long as you said 
"Speak Time" to "Control with silent mode" instead of "Always".
According to the article, if you don't use Voiceover you simply rest 2 fingers 
on the screen for a moment to get haptic time.

Interesting. I'm not sure anyone other than myself has said they use three and 
four taps for haptic time. This works for me even when I don't have sleep mode 
on. Maybe there's another setting I have set somewhere that explains this. I do 
have sleep when wrist down is set to on, so maybe that explains it. My watch 
has also worked this way through multiple
watchOS updates. I'll be interested to hear about the response you get from 
Apple. I have something that works pretty reliably for me.

On my Apple Watch SE I have never been able to use taptic time using 1 finger 
double taps. I have always had to use the 3 and 4 taps.
I have also turned VO off and tried the 2 finger tap and hold and I have never 
gotten that to work either. Poor sighted folks. :)

I also have an SE. I wouldn't think this would make any difference, but maybe 
this plays into it somehow.

Subject: Re: Haptic time on Apple Watch Ultra 2
On my Apple Watch SE I have never been able to use taptic time using 1 finger 
double taps.  I have always had to use the 3 and 4 taps.
I have also turned VO off and tried the 2 finger tap and hold and I have never 
gotten that to work either.  Poor sighted folks. :)

Subject: Haptic time on Apple Watch Ultra 2
Hi,
According to Apple, Voiceover users can use the haptic time feature by tapping 
the screen of the apple Watch twice with one finger to get the time in hours 
and minutes and tap three times if you know the hour and only want minutes 
indicated.
The prerequesit is that the Apple Watch screen is off/asleep.
In a recent discussion it seems many people say for them this works only 
reliably if you tap the screen 3 times for hours and minutes and 4 times for 
minutes.
I found with my Apple Watch series 5 40mm that haptic time rarely worked.
I now have an Apple Watch Ultra 2

Hi,
 
According to Apple, Voiceover users can use the haptic time feature by tapping 
the screen of the apple Watch twice with one finger to get the time in hours 
and minutes and tap three times if you know the hour and only want minutes 
indicated.
The prerequesit is that the Apple Watch screen is off/asleep.
 
In a recent discussion it seems many people say for them this works only 
reliably if you tap the screen 3 times for hours and minutes and 4 times for 
minutes.
 
I found with my Apple Watch series 5 40mm that haptic time rarely worked.
I now have an Apple Watch Ultra 2 and I discovered the following which probably 
applies also to my series 5, but I haven't checked it yet although I still have 
the series 5 because I'm a bit of a prograstinater when it comes to selling 
stuff.
Here is what I discovered:
 
I have a daily "sleep" focus set which starts at 10:30 PM and it stops at 7 AM.
I found that if it is past 10:30 PM, e.g. the sleep focus is active, a 1-finger 
double tap does nothing except it wakes up the display, but a 3-finger tap 
starts hours and minutes in haptic time and a quadruple tap does just the 
minutes.
However, during the day, e.g. after 7 AM and before 10:30 PM when the sleep 
focus is not active, the double tap Apple says one should use works just fine 
and the triple tap gives me just minutes even though when the sleep focus is 
active it will give me hours and minutes.
 
I just wrote Apple Accessibility a message regarding this because I assume this 
is a bug, but not sure until they reply.
 
What I don't understand is that why we can't use the regular gesture for haptic 
time. Yes, haptic time is not actually an accessibility feature, it is 
available to all Apple Watch users in Settings > Clock as long as you said 
"Speak Time" to "Control with silent mode" instead of "Always".
According to the article, if you don't use Voiceover you simply rest 2 fingers 
on the screen for a moment to get haptic time.
 
Tell time with haptic feedback on Apple Watch - Apple Support

On my iPhone, in settings -> focus, I have it set so that when my focus changes 
on my iPhone, it'll change on my watch. On the watch, in settings -> general -> 
focus, you can set it to mirror the focus on your iPhone. I don't have my watch 
with me right now, but I'd check to see if there's a way to toggle focus in the 
control panel.
BTW, I used the health app to set up my sleep schedule, so my iPhone goes into 
sleep mode on a regular week day and weekend schedule. You can also add and 
configure different focuses in settings -> focus, on your iPhone.

Yes, that is how I have it set up, sleep focus starts at 10:30 PM and that is 
the case on both my iPhone and Apple Watch. If I get up at 6:30 AM or any time 
before 7, I often get a notification on my watcch which says "It looks like you 
are awake" and I am then asked if I want to turn off the 7 AM alarm.

Interesting. I'm not sure anyone other than myself has said they use three and 
four taps for haptic time. This works for me even when I don't have sleep mode 
on. Maybe there's another setting I have set somewhere that explains this. I do 
have sleep when wrist down is set to on, so maybe that explains it. My watch 
has also worked this way through multiple
watchOS updates. I'll be interested to hear about the response you get from 
Apple. I have something that works pretty reliably for me.

Subject: Haptic time on Apple Watch Ultra 2
Hi,
According to Apple, Voiceover users can use the haptic time feature by tapping 
the screen of the apple Watch twice with one finger to get the time in hours 
and minutes and tap three times if you know the hour and only want minutes 
indicated.
The prerequesit is that the Apple Watch screen is off/asleep.
In a recent discussion it seems many people say for them this works only 
reliably if you tap the screen 3 times for hours and minutes and 4 times for 
minutes.
I found with my Apple Watch series 5 40mm that haptic time rarely worked.
I now have an Apple Watch Ultra 2 and I discovered the following which probably 
applies also to my series 5, but I haven't checked it yet although I still have 
the series 5 because I'm a bit of a prograstinater when it comes to selling 
stuff.
Here is what I discovered:
I have a daily "sleep" focus set which starts at 10:30 PM and it stops at 7 AM.
I found that if it is past 10:30 PM, e.g. the sleep focus is active, a 1-finger 
double tap does nothing except it wakes up the display, but a 3-finger tap 
starts hours and minutes in haptic time and a quadruple tap does just the 
minutes.
However, during the day, e.g. after 7 AM and before 10:30 PM when the sleep 
focus is not active, the double tap Apple says one should use works just fine 
and the triple tap gives me just minutes even though when the sleep focus is 
active it will give me hours and minutes.
I just wrote Apple Accessibility a message regarding this because I assume this 
is a bug, but not sure until they reply.
What I don't understand is that why we can't use the regular gesture for haptic 
time. Yes, haptic time is not actually an accessibility feature, it is 
available to all Apple Watch users in Settings > Clock as long as you said 
"Speak Time" to "Control with silent mode" instead of "Always".
According to the article, if you don't use Voiceover you simply rest 2 fingers 
on the screen for a moment to get haptic time.
Tell time with haptic feedback on Apple Watch - Apple 
Support<https://support.apple.com/en-ca/guide/watch/apd2c755c294/watchos#:~:text=Open%20the%20Apple%20Watch%20app,Silent%20Mode%20under%20Speak%20Time.>

If I do a triple tap during the day all I get is minutes and I can reproduce 
this over and over.
Just now, it's 11:45 PM so well past the start of my 10:30 PM sleep focus, a 
double tap once again does nothing and the triple tap consistently gives me 
hours and minutes in haptic time.

If you use more than one device what you should want is for both devices to 
show exactly the same thing. For example, if you are out and about and get an 
email and reply to it on your iPhone, I at least would want to see on my 
computer that the email was replied to and that the reply is there in the sent 
folder or wherever I move it to.
Similarly, if I delete an email I delete it because I either don't want it 
because it's spam or I am done with it. In that case why would I not want said 
email to be deleted on all my devices?
As others pointed out, IMAP and Microsoft Exchange are protocols where your 
mail, contacts and so on are stored on the server of your provider and a local 
copy of the data is synced to your devices. The sync works both ways, you read 
an email on one device and it shows as read on the other, you reply to an email 
and it shows as replied to  on the other, you sent an email on one device and 
the message is in your sent items folder on the other device or devices. You 
add a contact on your iPhone while you are out and about and that contact is 
also there on your computer and vice versa.
It may take a little getting used to, but this is the way email should work 
when multiple devices are involved, POP3 is an old protocol which was never 
designed for a situation where 2 or more devices are involved, yes, you can 
specify to "leave mail on server" on one device, but then this does not do 
anything for other stuff, e.g. if you were to send a message to somebody on 
your iPhone with an account set up as POP3, then that message you sent lives on 
your iPhone only and you would never know it was sent if you looked at the sent 
messages on your computer. I know a few people on this list love to live in the 
past and they think POP3 is the reinvention of the wheel but it's definitely 
not.
The other advantage of IMAP or Exchange of course is the fact that everything 
is backed up already and if you get a new device whether computer or iPhone, 
you don't even have to think about backing up your Outlook data file and then 
restoring it and all that. All you do is you enter your credentials on the new 
device when you set up the account and everything magically appears.

Subject: How do I prevent my emails from being deleted on multiple devices
I use Microsoft-365, windows-10 on my desktop as my primary email program. I 
only use my iPhone on occasion, mostly when I go out of my house. I recently 
had to switch my Outlook-365 Verizon account from POP to IMAP. This means that, 
unfortunately, my emails are no longer deleted from the server after I download 
them on my desktop, so they come into my phone, too. It also seems to mean  
that when I delete an email on my phone or desktop, it's also somehow deleted 
from the other device. I emphatically do not want that. How do I prevent this 
from happening?
Thanks  John Riehl

Hi Group,
I had closed the StarplayrX down overnight 12/15/2023 and then tried 
opening it for the football games around 12:30 PM 12/16/2023 EST.  I got 
the log in error once. I was presented with a log in screen. I typed in 
my password again and the app has been working since then with the app 
closed and reopened a few times. I wonder if this is going to be a 
chronic issue and if the developer knows about it. He actually has a 
website devoted to this and other apps he has created. His name is Todd 
Bruss and the website address is:
http://starplayrx.com/
I do not see an e-mail link on the page.
