   #Tech question for other #blind people. Is anybody else unable to activate links in messages on the #Signal #IOS app? I'm running the latest OS version and app version, but can't find a way to activate links either in the #Voiceover rotor or the context menu that comes up when you double tap and hold.

   Boost for reach if you don't mind. Thanks.

     @JustGrist I have signal but I don't think I've gotten a link before. In that case, I'd copy the message with a three finger quadrupal tap, then paste it into Notes, edit to where it only shows the link, and copy. I have to do that with some apps.

     @JustGrist I have just tested it: Double-tapping while VoiceOver is on a message with a mix of text and one link opened that link in Safari.

     If there were two or more links in one message it would probably be a problem. I don’t have such a sample message to try it.
