Resolved VoiceOver Bugs Our experience is that the following accessibility bug has been resolved in iOS 26.3 and iPadOS 26.3: When downloading an app from the App Store, VoiceOver no longer speaks extraneous text prior to the download progress. New VoiceOver Bugs We are currently aware of one new VoiceOver bug in these releases: When the Eloquence Community Dictionary is Enabled, Eloquence Does Not Speak Mixed-Case Words Like "iOS" Correctly. An Issue with Dictation While not a VoiceOver/braille/low-vision issue specifically, we did want to take this opportunity to share that multiple members of our team have observed a significant degradation in the reliability of dictation in iOS 26.3. A Feedback report has been filed. It is currently unclear to us whether this issue extends to Siri and whether it is something Apple can resolve server-side; we recommend that if you rely on Dictation, you do not install this update until the issue is resolved. If you notice any further changes, improvements, or regressions in your use of these releases, please post a comment below with your findings. iOS 26.3 Release Notes This update provides important bug fixes and security updates. For information on the security content of Apple software updates, please visit: https://support.apple.com/100100 Some features may not be available for all regions. For more information, please visit: https://www.apple.com/os/ios Software updates, like this one, add new features and improvements that may affect performance and/or battery life. To learn more, please visit: https://support.apple.com/125039 How to Update iOS 26.2 and iPadOS 26.2 are available via Over-the-Air Update (Settings > General > Software Update), via Finder on a Mac with macOS Catalina or later, or via iTunes on a PC or Mac with macOS Mojave or earlier. Before updating, we strongly recommend making a full and complete backup of your device (either locally or in iCloud, depending on personal preference). This will ensure that, in the unlikely event that something goes wrong during the update process, you will have a current backup on hand in case a device restore becomes necessary. Also, if using OTA update, we recommend plugging your device into a power source for the duration of the download/installation process, so as to prevent the unlikely event of your battery going dead during the update.       Richard, USA "While striving for perfection, let us do what is possible." -- John Wesley   My web site: https://www.turner42.com   (sent from my iPhone 16 pro)    -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.   If you have any questions or concerns about the running of this list, or if you feel that a member's post is inappropriate, please contact the owners or moderators directly rather than posting on the list itself.   Your V iPhone list moderator is Mark Taylor.
