I’ve got a tip here for those who use Facebook Messenger. In the last few updates of Messenger on iPhone and probably other phones as well, below your chats it’s now recommending people that you may wish to chat with. I noticed tonight just after the chats, there’s an option button if you tap on options then hide, those recommendations of people you may wish to chat to will be hidden it will not bother you again. I hope people find this tip useful.

I have another great tip here for those who receive emails or documents that contain tables with rows and columns. I just discovered that if for example you receive a daily spam report from your email provider that is set up in rows and columns. if using Jaws, when you enter the table by arrowing down, use alt control and left and right arrows to navigate each cell and using alt control up and down arrows moves down one cell or row and reads it. My daily spam reports can sometimes be 50 pages long and using the above navigation commands really cut my reading time in half. Wanted to share this with everyone here.
Greetings everyone. I just wanted to pass on this tip that I had today and thought that it may be useful. I was trying to order some food via an app and for whatever reason, I was not able to get past the car to place my order. I then decided to restart my phone and the app in question and this made no difference. I then signed out of the affected app and signed back in and the issue was resolved. The moral of this tale is, if everything else you have tried has not worked sometimes signing out of the app and signing back in can fix issues like this one without having to reinstall the app first. This is assuming that there are no technical difficulties with the app which in this instance there are not because my support worker was able to place an order on the same app when I was trying to and had no issues so the problem was a glitch with my particular account on the app and it is all fixed now after signing back in. I hope this tip is useful.

@doubletap I am very concerned about the news that volunteers are posting our calls onto social media from the Be My Eyes platform. I am unsure of the reason for this action and the potential consequences for Be My Eyes. I believe the organisation should require volunteers to sign a non-disclosure agreement. If they breach this agreement, they could be removed from the platform and prevented from participating in the future. I suggest Be My Eyes implement a similar procedure for their visual interpreters. While this may be challenging due to the large number of volunteers and the ease with which anyone can become a volunteer by installing the app, more rigorous training and other measures are necessary to prevent this from occurring.

@vol4life8657 @tinygirl I am not sure however, I just wanted to add my voice to those who have replied to this thread. I sure hope that be my eyes can work something out because I feel after reading what double tap had to say, I don’t know if I want to use be my eyes moving forward.

@JonathanMosen@caneandable.social @jaybird110127@dragonscave.space I really am looking forward to this awesome podcast on Wednesday. I used to play with an apple 2 E with the echo speech synthesiser and I used to love playing blackjack lemonade stand and many other games. I never got to play with the communication features on the Apple two this would have been amazing. I would have loved to have done more with the Apple 2 gs never got that chance unfortunately. Thanks in advance Jonathan.
