iOS 8.2 fixes at least one accessibility bug that I’ve been running into since
iOS 8 first came out.
iOS 8 added a new feature, the ability to set “do not disturb” on a specific
text message conversation. The only problem was that this feature never worked
if VoiceOver was on. They have now fixed this issue in iOS 8.2, so you can now
have VoiceOver on, then turn on “do not disturb” for a specific text message
conversation, and voila! VoiceOver will no longer read notifications for
messages in that thread.
I’m encouraged to see Apple finally making some accessibility improvements. But
they still have a ways to go. There are roughly half a dozen more accessibility
issues that I’ve reported to Apple, still present in iOS 8.2.
