Hi, Yes that’s true but if you lock the phone the sighted people with whom you might happen to be chatting think you’ve disappeared or are no longer available to chat. That’s what they kept saying to me yesterday. Thanks for the correction perhaps I was mistaken that this app ever voiced in coming messages. Still seems strange that it wasn’t or couldn’t be designed to do so. I hadn’t any vibrations on my device. Doe this occur if you haven’t vibrations turned on in settings and sounds? Robin

Just go to Settings, Notifications & swipe down to Messenger. Donna You may be thinking of the Messages app, which does read incoming messages. Facebook never has done this, unfortunately. The only way to know if a new message has come in is to try to feel the phone vibration which happens when a new message comes in, and hope it’s from the chat you’re in at the time.

The only way I could get alerted to new messages was to lock the phone but then the sighted person with whom I was speaking kept saying I was disappearing in terms of their view. I thought the app used to read in coming messages as they arrived but perhaps my memory is faulty on this one. Are there any work-arounds for this? Robin From: Davy Cuppens Sent: Friday, November 2, 2018 3:20 PM To: [email protected] Subject: big regressions in accessibility facebook messenger Hi folks It is no longer possible to delete messages in messenger using the rotor tasks. However, you can click on delete message but nothing happens. If you hold and release after the 3 progress beeps you can access the menu for that person but there seems to be no option to delete the conversation. For the users of itunes 12.6.3 it makes no sense to roll back to a previous version of the app because when reinstalling the app on your phone you are prompted to update the app otherwise it won’t work anymore. Please report this bug to facebook accessibility. Regards Davy -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
