I don't like how the continuous reading is now. Before the update you could just swipe to the right for continuous reading and it will read and automatically go to the next page but now it isn't like that anymore. Yes you can still continuous read but it selects each paragraph and it makes this sound as it does and its super frustrating and annoying. Please put the continuous reading back to the way it use to be, it was perfect and now its just annoying!!!!

Whenever I play a video on Facebook, the TalkBack continuously speaks and does not shows the option to revind, pause and forward any video properly. Along with tha5.t, it does not read the name of a particular video properly whenever I scroll on Facebook to play it. These are the most common accessibility bugs. Kindly investigate and resolve these issues.

I hate this app so much. It ruins the functionality of my phone. I have to turn on switch access in order to get a feedback beep with Google Assistant. The beep is very important because without it you don't know if it's working. Turing on switch access automatically turns on TalkBack which is now called the accessibility suite. There are multiple problems with this. First of all it disables the volume buttons. I don't know why you would ever want to disable buttons in a menu you have to dig in so many layers deep to change. It's not even called disable volume buttons. I had to search on a forum to find out what the problem is. Also you can't just leave everything on and forget about it because TalkBack/accessibility fundamentally changes the operation of your phone. It will read everything aloud and you have to double tap on things to activate/deactivate them. However my main issue is that when you turn on switch access the Google accessibility suite is always opening it's stupid set up wizard. I will be in another app or writing a text or something and the stupid wizard will decide to open over what I'm doing. I turn it off a hundred times a day and it wants to open. I've tried going through the wizard, etc. It still wants to open all the time. This might sound like a small thing, but it's ridiculous that in order to use my phone like in the commercial I have to turn on switch access, turn on TalkBack but disable it, and then all throughout the day swipe away the accessibility set up wizard. I've spoken to Google technical support multiple times and all they do is send me refurbished phones with the same issues. I don't believe they are working on a fix to this problem. Google software like Google maps and Google photos are great, the capabilities of Google Assistant are amazing, but none of that matters because their OS is broken and they aren't interested in fixing it.
