Question for voiceover users (self.Blind)
submitted by gothicquee
For the past two days, every time I’ve tried to make a post using my voice over. Reddit refuses to allow me to type, the second I tap on a letter it automatically pulls up the menu asking if I want to save or delete my draft.
So what I’m curious about is, is this a Reddit bug or voice over bug? I did recently update my phone. Because of this issue, I have had to use the notes app to write out my posts and then copy and paste them here.

Try baconreader

I really like BaconReader as a reddit client. The developers have been very receptive to accessibility feedback and have been quick to fix any issues that come up.

I’m having the same problem

I thought I was the only one with this problem. It works everywhere else but every time I want to make a post it does this all the time.

It only just started happening to me a couple of days ago, but it’s absolutely driving me insane.

I’ve been dealing with this for a long time. I think about a few weeks to a month now.

I wonder if it will ever get fixed?
Aronfeliciano 2 points 2y ago
I hope so

Try apollo.
It’s quite accessible.
To reply to a comment you double tap and hold until the menu comes up then double tap on reply.

What app are you using? Have you tried restarting the app and the phone? Using bacon reader and IOS 14.3 I am able to post without a problem.

Just the regular Reddit app.

The official app is terrible. I recommend switching to Apollo or dystopia

Are those available on the iPhone?

Check out r/dystopiaforreddit to get in on Dystopia while it's still in Beta. Though it's in Beta, it's quite fleshed out and it's more the developer not having the time to roll it out on the App Store vs the app not being ready.

Yes though dystopia is in a public beta, it's extreamily good with voiceover
