Here we go again with facebook

Ok guys, maybe worth not updating to V552.0.0 if you haven't already. Just updated and the back button has vanished if you go into a post. The only way I've found to come out of a post is either turn on SR which I hate in FB or use the scrub gesture. That does seem to work but it doesn't seem to work everytime not sure why.

Ja, facebook is frustratring again. The scrub gesture is a hit and miss when in a post, and you have to close the app and open it again!

As I said in my original post the scrub gesture does work. I ddon't have to close the app unless it doesn't work but oddly most of the time if it does work it dumps me in the status bar. A 1 finger tap in the middle of the screen then does take me back to where I was before. All a bit annoying.

Hi,
Has anyone been able to figure out how to edit posts or comments on Facebook with Voiceover?
Why do you think it's so difficult?

Last time I had the edit issue, I hovered my finger over where the edit place was with one hand, and turned VO off with my other, then single-tapped the edit place, then turned VO back on. It worked, but that was a time back, and I don't use the phone to post very often. It did not work any other way, as far as I could find.
Might give it a try.
