Has Facebook made accessibility improvements to the app? Last time I looked at it I noticed almost immediately that it was not up to par with the website. Has that changed?
Kk. Let me see… with the laptop layout, press NVDA+Shift and use your arrow keys to move. If your having trouble theirs a NVDA add on that can help with object nav.
about ready to uninstall it. It’s not worth my time. If I can’t even sign in with out someone who can see helping me, what else doesn’t work? first empressions are everything.
Yeah; I’d prefer something with better privacy, like iMessage for Windows (not happening) or a good signal client for the desktop.

Agreed, but then you’d have to convince the masses to switch. It never works out.
It’s not the Facebook app. It’s Messenger. From what I understand, it’s a new app.
ahh so it works with NVDA then?
Yes. It does.
how does the windows messenger app work?
I don’t know as of yet.
cool. what do I typ in to get it?
how do you sign in?
facebook messenger.
Cool. I’ll take a look.
I can’t sign in. I think I’m missing something.
Is their any text that comes up?
no
Hmmmm, weird.
my first empression of this app is not good TBH. there’s an unlabeled button and some menu pops up but NVDA will not read it.
What about object nav with NVDA.
I don’t know how to use that TBH
Hmmmm, Jaws?
no. I have NVDA. I don’t know how to use object nav.
Oh. That’s what you meant. Hmmm, could you try NVDA’s OCR?
no
I got no other ideas.
I do. yell at facebook. *weak smile.*
Ooooo.that works.
I don’t know how to use the OCR either.
Do a NVDA+R
it’s a blank result. How do you use object nav?
Are you using desktop layout or laptop?
laptop
be back, dinner.
Kk. Let me see… with the laptop layout, press NVDA+Shift and use your arrow keys to move. If your having trouble theirs a NVDA add on that can help with object nav.
Hope its something good.
nope that doesn’t work either, all it says is no selection.
Weird.
there’s an unlabeled button, and if I tab there is a slider. I don’t know what that is either.
don’t see this app as accessible to be honest.
Hmmm, might not be as workable.

Wait, you can’t sign in? I was able to just fine.
nope.
how did you sign in?
This is the Messenger app we’re talking about right? It just worked. I typed my info and boom.
Yep. Messenger app.
it doesn’t work here. all I’m seeing is an unlabeled button and some kind of a slider.
when I click on the button some pop up menu comes up but it’s not read.
I think you have gotten the wrong app.
no. I got it from the store and it said facebook messinger.
I searched for Facebook in the store, Messenger will appear, install that one, and it should work just fine.
