Mark, Thanks so much for taking the time to give such detailed instructions. I very much appreciate it.
I believe my issue was in item 4 of your example but I will admit that when going through the Apps Store updates today, I saw a Twitter update from a couple of days ago that I wasn't running when I posted my message. I'll not be discouraged and will keep on keeping on with Twitter and will let you know of my next attempt and its outcome. I did install Twitterific to have as a fallback in case I experience future problems. Thanks so much for your moderation of this list. I get so much helpful info from it.

Hello Alan, Okay, first, I could not reproduce your findings as I was able to send a direct message without any difficulty. I will paste in your previously listed steps updated with my own. Second, when trying to reproduce your experience, I could not locate any account that starts with the word Beats. So, if you could reply with the @Name for the profile you wish to contact, I will see if I can send them a direct message. Since I could not locate your intended recipient, I sent a direct message to Apple Support, @AppleSupport, a profile to which I have sent direct messages, in the past.. 1. >From within Twitter, select the Messages tab. 2. Activate the Compose New Message, button.. 3. Either search for @AppleSupport or, if you have previously contacted them, locate their profile from the previously contacted list, located below the Search field, and single-finger, double tap the profile to activate it. 4. Either by swiping or explore-by-touch, locate the edit field which VoiceOver announces as, �Compose new message, start a new message,� and single-finger, double-tap the field to display the on-screen keyboard. 5. Type in your message and, when finished, activate the �Send�, button. That�s all there is to it. Alan, give this another try and let us know how it goes.

Francisco, Many thanks for your reply. I'm glad to know about the custom actions provided when swiping up and down on a Tweet. I'm still finding the Twitter app horribly unintuitive when using Voiceover and I'm going to give an example below so I can hopefully modify my procedures to get better at tweeting. 1. I execute the Messages tab button which is the rightmost button on the bottomline menu. 2. I double tap on the compose new message button which is just above the Messages button on the bottomline menu. 3. Focus is on a search box where I can search for people and groups to whom I'd like to send the message. If I swipe right, I'm taken to a list of what I'm guessing is previous accounts I've tweeted to in the past. I place focus on the first one of these which is Beats by Dre Support and double tap. 4. I'm taken to a text field which Voiceover speaks Beats by Dre Support so I'm thinking this must be the Send To address. When I swipe right once, Voiceover says text field is editing word mode insertion point at start so I'm thinking this is where I should type my tweet. 5. The on screen keyboard is present so I type Test. However, the Send button which is on a horizontal menu that appears above the on screen keyboard is dimmed and as I swipe, I'm presented with @test so apparently I wasn't in the text field to compose my tweet but was still in some sort of send to field since the app is searching for someone to send to. If you could give me some direction as to how to get into the actual text area in which to compose a tweet after selecting the Send to person as I described above, I'd love to hear it. I'd have to rate Twitter as inaccessible based on what I'm experiencing. If this is due to operator error on my part, please instruct me so I can correct my actions.

Hello Alan. The button for composing a new tweet is located in the bottom right corner of the screen, just above the messages tab. Each tweet has Voiceover custom actions that let you reply, retweet, like, open a link and much more by flicking up and down. To dm a specific account, go to their profile, either from the search tab or with Voiceover actions from a tweet this person sent and you will find the compose dm button within a few fliks from the top element. Hope this helps. Best. Enviado desde mi iPhone El 8 ene. 2020, a las 12:40, Alan Lemly <wale...@gmail.com> escribi�: ? Hi List, I'm trying to use Twitter to send a direct message to @BeatsSupport but I'm finding the Twitter app less than intuitive on my iPhone 8 running iOS 13.3. I'm already following @BeatsSupport but when I swipe across any of the Twitter screens, I'll be darned if Voiceover announces anything like send a Tweet. This seems to me to be the main purpose of the app so how does one create a new tweet or respond to an existing Twitter thread when using Voiceover? Thanks in advance for any help.
