I opened up my Facebook app today and the first thing in the newsfeed is one of those notice things from Facebook itself. This one was a reminder that registration to vote in my states midterms is coming up soon. It said to share the voter registration link with your friends to help them get registered. For the life of me, I could not interact with this post in any meaningful way no matter what I did. Single finger double tapping it did nothing. Single finger swiping up and down gave two context menu options – ”activate” or ”more.” Activating the more option brings up a menu with a single option: ”hide this post.” lol. Seriously??? Two finger double tapping the post brings up a context menu with two options: ”activate” or ”more.” Activating the ”more” option brings up, well, you guessed it – ”hide this post.” I even tried turning off voiceover off, tapping where I believe the post to be and turning voiceover back on but still nothing. What the heck, Facebook? This is literally every VoiceOver gesture I am aware of for getting a post to actually do something. Is there anything I haven’t tried that one of you can think of? I have had experiences like this for years now in the newsfeed with this type of post and it drives me crazy. I can’t believe this hasn’t been fixed yet
