Apple Beta Releases

Hello all. I wasn't sure where to post this as I've got the latest public beta of IOS running but I got a question. Anyone noticed on the latest version of facebook, when going through posts, you now have to double tap on the post to actually read it? Also, in the latest version of instagram, (which I also use a lot.) Anyone note that when you go into the create a post thing, it doesn't actually let you do this? Rather I see the close button and, tap to take a photo or long tap to take a video. And... I can't even upload multiple photos from my camera role anymore like I use to with instagram. A major show stopper if you ask me until they get this fixed... Anyone nose any workarounds for this would be much helpful. I'm not seeing anything myself but could be just me. Thanks all.

Your report may provide crucial information. The more reports they receive, the higher the priority they give to fixing the bug.

Hi Jonathan. What VoiceOver voice are you using? There has been a bug in the iOS 16 beta when using Eloquence Where facebook posts were not being read as you describe.
PS - I’ve moved your post over to the beta forum.

I'm indeed using Eloquence. Ah makes sense then regarding FB and Eloquence. Kind of... Strange bug indeed. And sorry I didn't know where I should have posted this. All good.

Eloquence is reading as expected with latest betas especially on FB, at least for me, the issue has been addressed.

Not working with public beta 4 that just cane out. When I type using Apple smart keyboard and press space bar does not work. So much for that. They only have 2 weeks to fix it. Sad that iPad 9 gen will not be ready for iOS 16 yet. This is not good.

Does not for me with an apple smart keyboard. If I type a word and use space bar it does not do anything.

Holger, it's iPad OS not IOS which is going to be different. I'd maybe create this topic using iPad not IOS.

If you say so.
