I already submitted this issue through the Feedback app, not sure if that's the same as going through the bug tracker. Basically, I wanted to see if any of you can reproduce, or know a way to get around this currently. I'm totally blind, and use Voiceover primarily. So, I double tap to open the messages app, then I double tap the compose button. Next, I type a few letters of the first person I wish to send a message to. This only happens if I'm composing a message to multiple people. So, for this example, I'll use my friend Ronald Glaser. So, I type "ron" then double tap on him in the automatically populated results above the keyboard. So far, so good. This is exactly like it works in iOS 13. Now's where things get really wonky, and start behaving terribly. If I now double tap the add recippiant button rather than just manually typing the person's name, (I might not always know if the contact is in my contacts, or totally recall how I have them listed,) as soon as I double tap the add contact/recippient button, I get the little bweep sound from Voiceover telling me a popup screen has been displayed, and I see that the list of my contacts is displayed as normal. The problem is, after about 4 or 5seconds, regardless if I start trying to navigate this screen or not, the add contact popup goes away returning me back to my message conversation, thereby not allowing me to add a second recippient from the add contacticon. I had my mother try this as well without Voiceover enabled, and she can't get it to work either even with Voiceover turned off. So, this very well might not be a Voiceover issue, however, I'd like to address the solution as such if you all know a work around, as I'm going to have to use VO for navigation. I don't have enough vision to use iOS otherwise. Can someone with iOS 14 beta, who is familiar with Voiceover try this and see if you can reproduce, and if so, see if you can find a work around for the time being, even if it means having to get a little bit creative thinking outside the box? I'm using a 256GB iPhone 10S through AT&T for my current hardware setup. I've done all the usual, rebooting the phone, warm resetting with vol up, vol down, hold side button. I've reset to factory settings without restoring from a backup, I've used DFU and gone back to iOS 13, then tried updating to 14 again, etc. nothing seems to be correcting the issue. I'm not sure if this indeed seems to be a bug, or if it's just me not understanding a new way in iOS 14 of navigating around this screen. I'd very much appreciate any help you members/engineers can give me. Again, I did file this through the Feedback app. If that isn't sufficient, let me know and I'll get a report put together through Bugreporter. With warmest regards, Chris.
