People using screen readers on iOS devices will hear a list of items a photo may contain as they swipe past photos on Facebook. Before today, people using screen readers would only hear the name of the person who shared the photo, followed by the term \\u201cphoto\\u201d when they came upon an image in News Feed.

With the new accessibility functionality, the Moovit app is a handy companion for those who live with blindness, by providing users with turn-by-turn directions and a smooth travel experience.
