Problems with Telegram and blind people using Talkback
Steps to reproduce
Talkback and Telegram issues [Part 1]
Story Capture Menu:
Recognized elements: Back button, Flash button.
Unlabeled but functional elements: Dual camera activation button, Collage button (only allows you to turn it on and off).
Undetected and non-functional elements: Shutter button, Photo and Video buttons, Front camera button, Gallery button.
In other words: If TalkBack is active, it's impossible to take a photo or select one from the gallery to post to a Story.
Messages: Detecting usernames, links, hyperlinks, hashtags, phone numbers, and email addresses is required.
Media Editor: The text input box doesn't work; it only works when you long-press the send button. The button to show the description of the image above or below the media isn't recognized by TalkBack.
Story Editor: You can only enter a description with a long-press gesture. When blocking video recording with the front camera (so you don't have to keep holding it down), the double-tap to end the recording isn't recognized, nor is the cancel button.
Channel Ads: When TalkBack starts reading, it should initially say it's an ad, as it begins reading the text as if it were a channel post.
Image descriptions: The description works, but when you open a larger image, TalkBack doesn't recognize it as an on-screen element, and therefore no actions can be performed (such as using image descriptions).
Previews in messages: The only preview that is detected is the "Contacts" preview. When it comes to link previews, whether external or from Telegram (links to a post or message, groups, channels, etc.), the preview is not detected, so it's not possible to interact with them (people who can see them can simply tap on them and the app redirects us to that link). Additionally, the following buttons are also not detected: Quick View (reported since October 2023 (On the new update the instant view button is no... #33623)), Message, View Channel, View Group, Send Message.
Hello Telegram Support, I lost access to my original Telegram account, which owned/managed my public channel: https://t.me/twerk199 My phone number now opens a new/empty account, while I have no admin access to the channel. Telegram also says that my phone number is already associated with another account. The username currently used on my new account is also shown in the channel bio, but I cannot manage the channel. I am the legitimate original owner and can provide identity verification, previous account details, device/session information, and TON/Fragment ownership evidence. Please investigate the account/phone-number conflict and restore my original account and legitimate access to the channel. Thank you.
