![]() ![]() It's not as simple as it was with iOS 15, but the interface is no longer messed up I find.įor those who have issues with it, apple send me to get more info. You now can locate the audio button very easily, double-tap on it and then at the bottom of the screen there is the record button. You can now close the screen by hit the now visible "done" button and the messed up apps area should be tied up. Lastly, flick through the other elements on the screen and turn off all toggles you don't want to come up when the apps area is visible and then hit the "done" button. Remove all favorites expect audio by locating the elements, swiping down with one finger until hearing "remove" or "delete" and then double-tap.Ħ. double-tap on the edit button on the now visible screenĥ. Locate the expand button in the apps area and double-tap on itĤ. Double-tap on apps (if it's not expanded already)ģ. ![]() But there is a way to make it easier to locate the audio button and get rid of the messed up apps area:Ģ. The new audio message thing is alsohated by various sighted users as I was told. Yes, the Messages app is "accessible", but it is not productive and efficient to use with Voiceover. In designing UI's, one must not only think of "accessibility" (i.e., can one find and read all elements on the screen), but the designer must also think of how productive the interface is when used by a Voiceover user. This would make it a lot more efficient to find "unread" messages in the list. My suggestion here is that Voiceover announce the "read/unread" status of mesages in the list prior to speaking any recipients or mesage contents when flicking through the list of messages. ![]() Thus, if one has mesages in the list with many recipients it takes some time to flick through the list of mesages and figure out which of the messages in the list is the "unread" message that you want to read. A long standing issue with using Voiceover in the Messages app is that, when flicking through a list of messages, Voiceover announces the "unread" status of messages only after vocalizing all of the names of the recipient. ![]() See my item #2 above for a suggestion on how to rectify this.ģ. Anyway, this functionality seems to have been lost in iOS 16. Now the mesage is marked as "read" and you don't see a reminder that you have unread mesages in the Messages app on the home screen. In iOS 15, it used to be possible to have a message on the locked screen marked as "read" by activating the mesage and then hitting the "dismiss context menu" item. Please add such a context menu item on the locked screen to "mark as read"!!!ģ. The problem is that if one can't easily mark a message "read", the Messages app on the home screen still notifies one that there are unread mesages even if all messages have been already read from the locked screen. Thus, after reading a text mesage on the locked screen, the only way to mark the message as "read" is to get into the Messages app itself, find the read mesage in the list of messages, and then finally mark it as "read" or open the message so that it will be marked as "read". Unfortunately, when reading a mesage on the locked screen, there is no context menu item for "mark as read". I've waited for this feature for a long time.Ģ. Nice that when one is in the Messages app in the list of messages, one of the context menu items (flicking up/down with one finger) is "mark as read" or "mark as unread". I feel that the way text mesages are handled in iOS 16 has taken us a step backward. ![]()
