Bit of a tone deaf decision given the blatant infantilization a lot of disabled folk already have to deal with, and not something I would expect from a company that makes as many <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>accessibility</span></a> claims as Microsoft does. Obviously not meant to be a dig at you but the discrepancy seems rather clear here</p>

Amir<p>Meta, just in case you're unaware: your accessibility is seriously deteriorating.<br>On Instagram for iOS:<br>1. Reels can't be reliably navigated.<br>2. Swiping 3 fingers up/down doesn’t get VoiceOver to move focus to the next or previous Reel.<br>3. The "Post comment" button is now tiny, harder for VoiceOver users to find.<br>4. And sometimes, you get stuck on the oversized "Dismiss post" control, freezing the Compose dialog.<br>Meanwhile, in WhatsApp for iOS, VoiceOver routinely fails to detect some buttons now, forcing users to rely on Screen Recognition.<br>What’s happening to your accessibility team? The Instagram bugs alone have been live for over 6 months.<br><a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/Accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Accessibility</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/Blind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Blind</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/Instagram" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Instagram</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/WhatsApp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WhatsApp</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/iOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>iOS</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/Meta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Meta</span></a></p>
