Hello Sieghard, Having my 6 S Plus back, I am delighted to report that a VoiceOver user can easily dismiss the iMessage App Doc located in the bottom row of a conversation.
To do this: 1. Open a conversation in the iMessage app. 2. Just to the right of the Add Media button, you will find the Messages App Button. 3. Single-finger, double-tap and hold this button and swipe down towards the bottom of the display. That's all there is to it. Please note that the Messages app button is not located on the bottom row of the display but on the same row as the add media button, just above the Dock. Good Luck, Mark -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Sunday, September 24, 2017 7:46 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Hide the annoying app dock in iOS 11's Messages app - CNET Hmm, if this means the one Voiceover reads as "Store" which I get to if I swipe right once after the Sent button (or Record if it's an iMessage) then I don't know how you can swipe down, it is already at the very bottom left of the screen. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of M.

Mark CNET How To - Thursday, September 21, 2017 at 9:06 AM Hide the annoying app dock in iOS 11's Messages app - CNET One of the new features in Messages on iOS 11 is a dedicated app dock for your iMessage apps. You've undoubtedly seen it since updating earlier this week -- it's a row of app icons at the bottom of the screen each and every time you open a conversation. I've seen a lot of complaints on Twitter, and have been asked privately a few times about hiding it. At first, I didn't think it was possible. Then I found the answer on Reddit. Hide the app dock by placing your finger on the App Store icon next to the text field, and swipe down. Poof, it's gone. There's a caveat, because of course there is. If you use an iMessage app in the future, the dock comes back. But you can repeat the quick gesture to get rid of it again.
