Telegram iOS has significant accessibility issues when using VoiceOver.
Many interface elements are not properly labeled, some buttons are not read at all, and navigation is inconsistent. As a result, blind and visually impaired users cannot fully use the app.
VoiceOver is a core iOS accessibility feature, and proper support is essential. Improving accessibility would make Telegram usable for a much wider audience.
All interactive elements should be correctly labeled and accessible via VoiceOver, with logical navigation order.
Actual behavior
Some elements are silent, unlabeled, or confusing when navigated with VoiceOver.
