A double tap and hold then release after a second or so seems to work for most 
people. For those where it doesn’t work it is hard to say that it doesn’t 
because of the way they perform the gesture or because it just doesn’t work. I 
also thought at first it didn’t work, but have since tried it again on both my 
6S Plus and my wife’s 6S and her old 6 and it works on all three devices.

You have to find the search area, turn off voiceover, tap twice, and turn

Hi Mary and others

I informed the accessibility team of facebook about the bug.
For your own good policies, maybe it is good to set your iphone in this way 
that app updates are not installed so that you can prevent yourselves for such 
inconveniences caused by broken accessibility in app updates.

Hi exceed hard,
I tried as you suggested by flicking to the search field then flicking to the 
left once hearing the bunk and double tapping and holding. I held it for quite 
a while. Tried it twice. No luck. Then I tried touching into the search field 
sliding my finger all the way to the left margin, double tapping. Same thing. 
No luck. I hope they fix this bug soon, as I do use the search field quite 
often to search in a very busy group of which I am a member.

Hmm, I just tried it again and while I have done so several times yesterday 
when it didn’t work, it does work now.
It does sometimes seem to matter where exactly the focus is, I just tried it by 
swiping left all the way until I got to “Search, dimmed” and it didn’t work 
twice in a row, then I swipe left one more time so it made the bonk sound and 
then it worked. When I find the search field by touch it seems to work better 
if I make sure I slide my finger all the way to the left against the edge of my 
case.
But I think it’s pretty safe to say that it seems to be consistant although I 
can’t get it to work the way Donna says with a split tap.
Davy, make sure you double tap and hold and don’t lift your finger too soon, 
make sure the triple tone sounds and then give it another half second or second 
before  you lift your finger. If it doesn’t work the first time try it a second 
time and move your finger a bit more towards the edge, if you have a case it is 
easier as you can put your finger right up against the case.

Regards,
Sieghard

Hi, yes it does. I just tried it literally two seconds ago, and got it to work 
100% of the time. Double tap and hold on the search field, wait for the triple 
tone, then release your finger. Works all the time.

hi. That's not true. While voiceover claims the search box is damned, you can 
still double tap and hold and release and it will bring up the keyboard.

Hi folks

Do not upgrade to the latest fb app update.

The search function can nolonger be used for voiceover users.
