iPhone and iPad

Hi everyone!
I have recently purchased an iPhone 12, and was forced to install iOS 15. Although only a minor issue, it can be extremely irritating: I no longer seem to be able to hold down my finger on the delete key in a text field and backspace out multiple characters or lines of text with the one gesture. instead, I have to press the delete key, character by character, which can be rather time-consuming. is there a workaround for this, or something I can change in settings?
Many thanks.

Hello all. I can't figure out why this keeps happening, so thought i'd see if anyone else has it. I have a Bank Of Marica visa card I use for Apple Pay. Recently, Apple told me I can't have my Mac password and my iCloud password be the same, so i changed the Mac. Since then, this is the third time, Bofa tells me my "virtus card was just deleted last night, again. Thanks for any help.al card" has been deleted. I can add it back just fine, I'm curious why this keeps happening.

Hi all!
Is there a way that I can delete unwanted email addresses from my iPhone? I'm using version 17 and when I start to type in an email address lots of old addresses pop up that I no longer use. I can't figure out how to get rid of them. I've done it on the mac but not iPhone. Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks,
Jim

Hi,
I want to clear out my Watsapp except for a couple of chats.
I know in the chat settings, I can delete or clear all chats.
My question is this.
If I archive the chats that I want to keep, will the delete function in the settings delete the messages in the archives as well?
If it does, I’ll have to select what I want to delete and do it the long way.
I don’t want to take a chance and just delete and hope the archived messages are still there.
Any help would be appreciated very much.
Thanks,

Gary

I’m not sure if this is technically a bug or what, but I’m trying to delete files in the Files app. When I go to delete and double tap on it and confirm I want it to be deleted, the file is still in the Files app like it hasn’t been deleted. Has anybody ever noticed something like this?

Hi,

A while ago deliveroo introduced a change which makes it more difficult to view restaurants and purchase food.
When you double tap on a restaurant name then an overlay appears sayhing 'Discover what people like you are saying about this place'.
There is no way that I know of to dismiss this overlay.
If you switch off Voiceover and tap around the centre of the screen then it goes away but this approach is very hit and miss.

Has anyone else seen this and if so is there a solution?

Hi everyone,
I recently came across an app called Cosmicast.
It’s a very basic podcast app, available for ios, macOS, watchOS, & tvOS.
I’m wondering if anyone here would be willing to do a podcast about this app?
My problem is, when I try to play a podcast, it plays over top of itself, thereby making it sound very distorted. And I also don’t understand parts of the user interface.
Thanks for any assistance you guys can provide.

If Siri works as well as it appears to in this video, I might just have to rethink my decision not to upgrade to the 4S:

It will be interesting to see if Siri and VoiceOver play nicely together.

Hello. I was wondering if a Guide can be created to use the punctuation customization with voiceover? If anyone knows how to customize punctuation please let me know. Thank you.

Hello. I am reaching out to you to see if as would have any interest in recorded audio demonstrations of wayfinding apps such as BlindSquare, Seeing Eye, Apple and Google Maps, and other transit apps. These demonstrations would be recorded mainly outdoors with Sound Professionals binaural microphones clipped to a pair of Aftershokz Bluez 2 headphones, and I will be using a Braille Edge 40 Braille Display from HIMS.

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to make you aware of Departure Board - UK Train Departure Times. It offers a quick and easy way of finding upcoming departures from nearby UK National Rail stations.

When you launch the app, it displays the departure board for the nearest station, as determined by GPS location. It's easy to pick another station if the wrong one is shown..

For quite a while, the chase banking app has had the capability to let you take a picture of your check and deposit it in the bank. I've always wanted to do this but didn't know how much feedback Voice Over would give you and how accessible this part of the Chase Banking app was. My niece who is sighted says that you have to be very exact with the picture and so she thought it would be difficult to get it just right. Has anyone had sucess in trying out this feature? If so I'd love to know how you accomplished it.

Hey guys!
I would like to try using the iPhone to play. For this, since using Gemini uses up a lot of tokens quickly, I would like to ask how good local models are for describing images and if it is possible to make a shortcut for this.
The idea would be the following:
I press a button on the controller. The ption change. I make a gesture on the iPhone screen with VoiceOver. silently, it takes a screenshot of the screen, sends it to llm with a specific prompt, speaks and deletes the prompt.

The App Store description of the latest update to YouTube includes the following:

Enabled custom accessibility actions for most of the app.

Downloaded the update but haven't had a chance to check it out yet. Sounds promising. Anyone tried it out?

Hi Everyone,

I'm wondering whether people can recommend any apps for use on an iPad pro for programming/development work? I'm not just thinking of app development in the Apple ecosystem but general development as well. the types of thing I'll be working on are C projects, web development and (unless I can avoid it) Python. I may need some Go in the early part of next year but that's not certain.

Any and all recommendations much appreciated.

Thanks,

Donal

Hi everyone. I'm the developer of Calcanto, a free calculator for iPhone, iPad and Mac. I'm posting here because a calculator that speaks seemed like it ought to work well for blind and low-vision users, and I would much rather hear from you what doesn't work or what should be fixed.

I'm Ravi, the developer of Simple Voice Calculator. I know developers can't add their own apps to the App Directory, so I'm posting here instead, because I'd really like to hear how it works for people who use VoiceOver every day.
