accessibility of paypal iphone app
Excellent App, Except...
found 1 unlabelled button in this app
Hi I have found one unlabelled button in this app, its on the wallet tab, so not all buttons are clearly labelled. For reference this buton shows information about your various paypal balances if you have balances in other currencies than your home one and also if you have pending transfers.
Paypal has become less accessible.
Paypal has become less accessible in its 5.x updates. Specifically, the data entry screen for sending money has changed for the worse, and there are more unlabeled buttons.
Paypal has thus far ignored my requests for remediation of the accessibility concerns.
I would recommend reducing the app's accessibility rating.
accessibility complaints and the ADA
Really? I have had no issues sending money and withdrawing it to my bank. I would not worry about the issues as they are very good at fixing them. Plus remember the ADA only works for government contracts. The ADA does not work for private corporations and international ones like paypal might be. So they can do what ever they please.
Logging in and the capture isn't working
You need to explore by touch to find the "I am not a robot" tickbox. With trial and error tapping on it, you will then get the capture and a button to get an audio challenge. This doesn't always work though. Having tried it a couple of times, nothing happens when tapping either it or the get a new challenge button.
Problems with voiceover and Paypal not interested
I reported several accessibility problems to Paypal CS and got the following reply:
Dear Robert Murray,
The PayPal app doesn’t have an option to allow any voice over or braille options. This is because we are not able to get it to be compatible with the different software out there for braille and voice over control.Â
You can use these options on the full website, but just not with the app itself.

Best wishes,

PayPal Version 8.70.0
I am running this app on an iPhone 8 under IOS 16.7.10 This version of Paypal came out a week ago. I have been using the PayPal website for years. I only put it on my phone three months ago in order to handle financial transactions with family members. I had to get sighted help setting it up because editfields don't behave as expected. I even called Apple Accessibility. The representative could confirm the problem but not really do anything. A user is supposed to be able to send money to friends and family or for goods and services. I haven't been able to find the Friends and Family option at all.
Is anyone having trouble…
Is anyone having trouble entering their password? It won't let me enter my password in the text field.
Can confirm
No idea when I last logged in. However, just tried and you can't enter the password with VO.
Sometimes this works for me
Hi, I use the password app to log on, but generally, when I encounter stubborn edit boxes, it often works if I do a one finger double tap, holding on the second tap until my phone gives a haptic pulse.
Good luck.

This is an old bug
So, when you're on the password field, try typing in your password anyways. It won't look or sound like it's entering anything, but just type it in and tap on login or whatever. It should still let you login. The glitch or bug is that for whatever reason, in the last several updates to PayPal, VO does not give any kind of feedback in the password edit field. However, you should still be able to login, you just have to be very careful when typing out your password.
HTH.
It works but first you have…
It works but first you have to press the button to show the password after the input field. But it also adds another character, I don't know why, when you type the password, check it.
Rolling my eyes
This is too funny, because I just installed this app for the first time recently, hoping it would be easier to use than their nightmare website. Sigh.
Don't even get me started wondering why someone decided they had to reinvent the accessible password text field. It's an imponderable.
