It is full of beautiful design, animation, amusing details and hidden treasures. - It is fast and robust. It caches data locally to let you read withou…

NOTE: There seems to be a bug with the new photo picker if you have selected to limit access to the photo library! Selected images may not get added to your post in this case. Trying to figure out a workaround.

Made another quick release of v17.3 to fix this issue! Not granting full access to the photo library should now work as well, although it will not work quite as well.

The main noticeable limitation is that if Toot! does not have photo library access, then photos will not be pre-selected if you go to change your selection of attached photos. You have to delete them from the posting screen and then re-select them to make changes. This seems to be an Apple limitation that can't be worked around.

@tootapp thanks for your hard work on the app! I hope it is and continues to be a fun and rewarding project for you

@tootapp I think I prefer having this limitation rather than it asking me to add photos with the old dialog all the time 🥳

@TychoQuad I've filed a bug with Apple about this, but any fix they make will be in iOS 17 at the earliest, I suspect, if they even bother...

@tootapp I think it’s fine. I can’t think of a time I’ve ever had to change the photos selected to post. It wouldn’t even occur to me that it would preselect my existing photos in any app. I would have deleted the ones I no longer wanted by that point anyway 😎

@tootapp can you adjust your exported photos from Settings - Privacy & Security - Photos - Toot!

@tootapp I was curious to know if you were going to fix a couple focus issues with Toot! and Voiceover. Sometimes when replying to posts Voiceover loses focus and it takes me a bit to find my place when reading again. I also wondered how to accept follow requests with the app.
I'm absolutely loving everything Toot! has to offer aside from what i just mentioned, so do keep up the good work.

@NightDrake @tootapp I might know of someone who can submit better notification sound effects for the app, but it's really up to him if he wants to. I can mention him if you want. I like Toot! so far.

@NightDrake I am pretty overloaded with work so I can't promise anything. Ideally, that would be good to get fixed.

Accepting follow requests is either in the more menu (but only when you actually have a request!) or you can turn on follow request notifications and accept them from the notification view (although that may not be super well implemented for voiceover).

@tootapp @NightDrake Thank you. I will certainly give that a try. I love this app.

@tootapp Oh, that's fine. I get that you have many things to work on. I just wanted to let you know of the issue I was having and also encourage. A lot of us visually impaired have jumped on the Mastodon bandwagon as of late. I'm going to keep ysing the app though. Thanks for telling me how to find the accept follow request though. I was so confused.

@tootapp @NightDrake The one thing I'd like to see, that I've found in other apps, is a way to view trending topics.
Show threadjolenaDec 4, 2022
@NightDrake @tootapp This is the issue I was talking about earlier. There needs to be an easier way to accept a follow request other than swiping either to the right or to the left. I have tried both but to no avail.

@fosterp55 @NightDrake Is there no way in voiceover to access actions on table views that you get to by sliding the cells? Stuff like deleting? That's how they are implemented.
Show threadjolenaDec 4, 2022
@tootapp @NightDrake I will give what you have said a try. Both of us are new to this app and I think we will definitely give this a try. Thanks for your assistance.

@tootapp I don't have the new version yet, so don't know if it will help workaround the bug, but if a user wants to unlimit, go to the iOS settings, search for "Toot", then choose Photos > All Photos.
