Hello Everyone, Please join me in sending a VoiceOver feedback report to Apple regarding the fact that the iOS 10 native Mail "Most Recent Message on Top", Toggle Setting, Does not Function as Expected
I have already written the report, complete with a workaround, so all you need to do is to paste it into a new email, either in its entirety or modified as you wish, and send it to any and all Apple channels to which you have access. As a side note, I find it most curious that, while one can search and display the native iOS Mail app in the App Store, on an iOS device, there is no where, at least not one that I could find, to leave a review of the app. Oversight? Hmm. [BEGIN REPORT] Subject: IOS 10 VoiceOver Native Mail Bug: "Most Recent Message on Top", Toggle, Does not Function as Expected SUMMARY: Even when the "Most Recent Message on Top", toggle, located in Settings/Mail, is set to "Off", the first message just below the thread's subject line, when viewed from the Inbox, is always the most recent post to the conversation. As a consequence, if I want to read the original post to a thread, I have to first single-finger right-swipe all the way down to the first message in the conversation list and then single-finger left-swipe back up, one message at a time. STEPS TO REPRODUCE THE BUG: 1. In Settings/Mail, Set "Preview" to None. Set "Organize by Thread" to On. Set "Most Recent Message on Top" to Off. Set "Complete Thread" to Off. 2. Open the Mail app. 3. Place focus on a collapsed thread. 4. >From the VoiceOver Rotor, select "Expand Thread". The thread will expand downward. 5. Now, single-finger swipe to the right in order to move to the first message listed below the subject line of the conversation and, as expected, VoiceOver reads the complete text of the message. The bug is that, even when the "Most Recent Message on Top", toggle, is set to "Off", the first message listed just below the thread's subject line is always the most recent post to the thread. As a consequence, if I want to read the original post to a thread, I have to first single-finger right-swipe all the way down to the first message in the conversation list and then single-finger left-swipe back up, one message at a time. WORKAROUND: 1. Make certain that "Preview" is set to "None". 2. Make certain that the "Most Recent Message on Top" toggle is set to "Off". 3. Open the Mail app. 4. Place focus on a collapsed thread that is marked as being "unread". 5. Single-finger, double-tap the thread to open the conversation. The oldest message in the thread will be correctly displayed. 6. If necessary, on the VoiceOver Rotor, select "Messages". Now, simply single-finger swipe down (from top to bottom) in order to be taken to the next message in the conversation, moving forward in time. VoiceOver should automatically read the contents of each message. [END REPORT] Thank you, Mark -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
