Hello Everyone, You may have noticed that in the currently released version of the native iOS 9 Mail app, VoiceOver no longer announces the actual number of messages in a collapsed message thread but, instead, merely says, "Multiple messages in thread."
If, like me, you would like to once again hear the specific number of messages in a collapsed message thread, please join me in submitting a feedback request to Apple. The following is a feedback request I just submitted to Apple. Feel free to use any or all of it in your submissions. Thank you, Mark [Begin Feedback] TITLE: Request to Have VoiceOver Once Again Announce the Number of Messages in a collapsed Email Message Thread DESCRIPTION: In iOS 8.x and earlier, VoiceOver would announce the actual number of messages in a collapsed email message thread. In the currently released version of iOS 9.0, VoiceOver, instead of announcing the number of messages in the thread, merely says, "Multiple messages in thread." The number of messages in a thread is important because said number may indicate how important or urgent the thread is to the user. STEPS TO REPRODUCE: To reproduce this issue: 1. >From the LaunchPad, select Settings. 2. Select Mail, Contacts, Calendars. 3. Set Preview to None. 4. Set "Organize by Thread" to, "ON". 5. Launch the native iOS 9.0 Mail app. 6. In the Messages Table, place VoiceOver focus on a message thread containing multiple messages. EXPECTED RESULTS: I expect VoiceOver to announce the actual number of messages in the thread. ACTUAL RESULTS: VoiceOver says, "Multiple messages in thread."
