Hello Alan, You ask an excellent question, the answer to which I struggled with before posting my request to the list.
The short answer to your question is, yes; one could simply request that the new streamline UI be made the default UI when VoiceOver is enabled. However, just because I find the current rendering of the new UI VoiceOver accessible, does not mean that it is completely accessible given that Twitter may be planning on implementing even more changes that I have not yet either seen or explored via VoiceOver. In my review on the App Store, I request that the new UI be made accessible and the default UI for visually impaired users. Frame the request as you see fit. As for me, I did not want to appear as though I were infallible thus causing my request to take a more comprehensive and safer approach. I would hate for Twitter to simply make the new UI our default only to have us then complain that it is not VoiceOver-ready.

Mark, I'm a bit curious why the example request toTTwitter mentions something about making the streamlined user interface accessible when you state in your post that it is completely accessible. Isn't the request for it to be the default interface for VO users? Alan Lemly -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of M. Taylor Sent: Monday, June 26, 2017 11:19 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Please Join Me in Requesting That The New Streamline User Interface, for the iOS Twitter App be Made VoiceOver Accessible. Hello Everyone, I am cross-posting this to both the V iPhone and Mac Visionaries mailing list. Recently, Twitter introduced a new, streamline, user interface in its iOS mobile app. In the latest version of Twitter Mobile for iOS, if VoiceOver is not enabled prior to launching the app, the new streamline user interface, is displayed. However, if VoiceOver is enabled, prior to launching the app, the display reverts back to the classic interface. Further, if VoiceOver is not enabled, prior to launching the app, then is enabled after the app is open, a dialogue box appears recommending that the user close and re-open the app with VoiceOver running, for best results. I have tested the new interface with VoiceOver enabled and it is completely accessible. So, effectively, all Twitter needs to do is to allow the new streamline UI to be the default interface when VoiceOver is running, at launch. Please join me in requesting that the new streamline UI be the default interface when VoiceOver is enabled. The following is a short request that you are free to use in your feedback to Twitter: [BEGIN REQUEST] Subject: Request to Make the New iOS Twitter App Streamline User Interface VoiceOver Accessible Hello, Please make the new iOS Twitter app streamline user interface accessible and the default UI when VoiceOver, Apple's software screen reading solution for the blind and low vision, is enabled.
