FaceBook and link preview

Hi,

I’m wondering if I'm the only one experiencing this, as I haven’t read about it anywhere. The problem has been occurring for many months. I’ve reported it to the FB team as well, but as is often the case with them, there has been no response.

If any post has a link preview, VoiceOver is completely silent on that element.

If you are experiencing this too, maybe we can launch a collective effort to address it, as it is extremely inconvenient.

I have also reported it multiple times and haven't gotten any response.

Not noticed this before but I think this is because I don't get those types of posts. However, yesterday I did notice it because you can't read any applevis posts without actually going into the post and everyone has a link. So suspect this is what your talking about.

yes same here - link preview does not exist. And since mid August it's even impossible to receive spoken feedback while writing a new post.
Facebook is becoming more and more unreliable - I suspect they're counting on algorithms for testing and developing as well as for moderating posts. Crap.

Glad to see it’s not operator error. It has been like it for months. Took me ages to work out what was going on, and why voice would tell me that 238 people reacted to what I thought was a blank post.
