Thanks Sieghard. I also gave Apple this feedback through their Telephone Accessibility Agent today.
It sounded like they had heard the story before! The feedback was well received! Thanks All! From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Wednesday, October 05, 2016 5:41 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Anoying announcement Hi Kliphton, Unless you have an iPhone 7 or 7 Plus and this is different than on the 6S/6S Plus or 6/6 Plus what yu say is not correct. I have hints disabled and the "Actions Available" message is still spoken whenever you change focus to a different app on the home screen. I guess Apple wants to make sure users realize that there is now the new "Arrange Apps" rotor function, who knows if down the road other rotor options could be added. It is just one of these things one gets used to just like when Apple introduced the "Dock" announcement whenever you touch one of the apps in the dock for the first time. If you touch one and it is announced as "Dock, Phone" and then if you touch any other dock app the "Dock" announcement is no longer spoken, but it is the first time. I do think that the "Actions available" announcement could be restricted to when Hints are enabled and I have sent Apple Accessibility feedback accordingly a while back. I guess anybody who feels the same way should write to [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> and request this because if nobody does it will not be changed.
