My friend sent me an audio message in Messenger. Couldn’t play it, and it failed the second time it was sent as well. I could play it through the website on my PC. Anyone else who uses Voiceover found this problem? Wishing you all a nice day!

Messenger has suddenly stopped playing voice notes recorded then shared via the Voice Memos app, rather than recorded within Messenger. These have not functioned properly for sometime now, with no time information given. All recordings are listed as 0 seconds but at least they played. This appears no longer to be the case. Anyone else found this?
Thanks.

Hello all,
I have a quick question about the messenger app. Spicifically it's ringtone. Is there a way to change it to another tone (spicifically the one that sounds when you receive a message) to a different tone? I'm only asking because while I like the sound, both my parents as well as I have Messenger. So it would be nice to change it to the tone to something different so that I know when it's mine going off Vs. my parents devices.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

The current bug that we’ve had from the previous issue with the messenger app where it would read the whole entirety of the Fred seems to have gone and when you use your finger to go to the right hand side of the screen towards the bottom it now brings up the send like button. Let’s hope they fixed it but it seems like it to me. Muc as I’m quite cynical about these things, I’m sure it’ll reappear again in the future. But for now, it seems to be fixed.

Ok so I started using gps apps, but I'm a little confused when it says "location accuracy 16 feet." How do I mesure this to make sure I make it from point a to point B? Thanks.

Has anyone figured out how to use the redesigned Meta View app?
The thing that clued me into the change was that my glasses have stopped notifying me when a text comes in. I hear a chime, but Meta no longer gives me the option to read it. So I opened the app, and it's a complete redesign. I can't even find settings anymore to check and make sure announce texts is still enabled.
Any help would be appreciated.

I have a lot of cartoons that I put on my phone recently. They're all disorganized though, and I'm trying to find a way to edit the tags. Like title, and season, episode number, that kind of thing. I tried using ITunes, but it keeps freezing, and crashing. Then a dialogue box comes up saying "ITunes has stopped working. Windows is checking for a solution...." blah blah blah. Does anyone know how I can edit all this info with some JAWS friendly software? I am running Windows Seven.

Hello all,
I've been watching this...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZGOzomWBAU&lc=UgxLGl3VKILka_Rqeth4AaABAg.9ps1v_BwDhF9ps62BQtwxf&ab_channel=MDF0207
and acording to the reply I recieved from my comment, it's been recorded on an iPhone 14 Pro max.
I have an iPhone SE 3rd, gen, and can only get mono when recording video.
I can't go to control centre when in the camera app because it takes up the entire screen and there is no status bar.
Can anyone give me more info about the wide spectrem mode, how it works, whether the SE 3 even has the same number of Omni mics as the 14 pro max.

Hi all,
Since all of my classes are online (using WebX, Zoom, etc) this semester, I noticed one problem is that, at times, my mic would be unmuted without me knowing it. I think this happened to me around once or twice, possibly even more.
So, I have a question, Does VO magic tap gesture unmutes my mic, even though I'm inside another app, especially when I try to use dictation? If so, is there a way that I can use dictation without having my mic in the online class being unmuted?
Many thanks

Canany one tell me if the Microsoft 365 app, as well as Word and Excel is accessible using Voiceover on my iPhone 15 Pro?

I use to use Microsoft's Start app for ios every day to read the national, world and local news. It worked great with Voiceover until about a month ago. Now, the news is presented in very inaccessible formats with carousels and a mess of unlabeled tabs.
I have provided feedback in the app on several occasions, and I contacted the Microsoft disability desk. subsequent updates to the app haven't fixed the issue.
I have looked for another news app but with little success. Any recommendations?

Hi,
Is anybody using MicroSoft Lens, an OCR scanning app? Would it let me save PDFs or DOCXs to be sent directly to email accounts rather than clouds?

Hi guys.
So I have both productivity suites on my iPad, and am wondering which one is more usable from a VoiceOver perspective. Both are accessible of course, but I'd like to see which suite you guys use.

Greetings to everybody! Recently, I started using Microsoft Outlook on my phone, because I got tired of various sync issues with Apple Mail. The app is perfect as far as accessibility goes, but I am having trouble accessing some attachments. SO, lets say I have a 5 message thread with each having one attachment. The outlook has, and VoiceOver sees a button which says "5 attachments, double tap to hide the list of attachments." Perfect. Now, here's where the trouble begins.

Hello
I installed the Microsoft Outlook app on my iPhone 6S. My Mail provider is TelkomSA and I have a Imap account. When I set-up the account I discovered that the incoming port number shows 993. When using Telkom IMAP the port number for the incoming server must be 143. So I changed it, but can not save this setting. Under the "Edit information settings" I can only find a "Cancel" option. When double tapping on that my choice revert back to 993? Any advice will be appreciated.
