Hi.
Yes, you have the two finger double tap to play/pause on Android 11. Remember
you don't have to completely learn the new set of gestures immediately; you can
still use the angular gestures in tandem until you get to grips with them. As
for Barclays not supporting google pay, that is something you will need to take
up with them, NatWest certainly do as do other banks.
All the best, Ibrahim.

Hi Steve, Can you play/pause music with a 2 finger double tap? That was my
only gripe with TalkBack and Google Pay not supporting Barclays for contactless
payments.

Hi Ibrahim,
To be fair and balanced, we are in a good place now with phone access. I think
the accessibility of iOS and Android is about level now. So for blind people
as for sighted people, it is a lifestyle choice, not an accessibility one. I
have both, and I can't find anything I can do on my iPhone that I can't on my
Pixel, and vice versa.
But there is still this perception among blind people that iOS must be the best
because it was first and Google got it so wrong at the beginning.
I am really pleased where we are now and have been using Android since 2009
happily.
All the best
Steve

Hi Steve.
The more I use Android, the more it's growing on me now especially with the
multi finger gestures. I'm hoping to make Android my primary OS within a few
months. Thanks for the tips pun intended *smile*.

Hi,
I have no idea. But they work well for me, and they are fully customisable.
By the way, the single finger gestures still work when multi-finger is enabled,
so there are a plethora of ways to do things. For example, you can use the
multi or single finger versions interactively. It's very powerful.
All the best
Steve

Thanks Steve, that did the trick. Still getting used to the multi-finger
gestures on Android 11, do you know when they officially intend to roll these
out or will they remain hidden away in developer options?
Thanks.

Hi Ibrahim,
Head into Text To Speech Settings, then change the language from System
Language, to English UK.
All the best

Hi Everyone.
Hope someone can help with this niggling little annoyance with my new pixel. I
currently have all speech in UK English high quality Google, however whenever I
visit websites with chrome either by clicking a link or using the Google News
or other aggregation apps and a Chrome window opens, my phone switches to
American English which is harsh on the ears. Can anyone suggest a way to stop
this from happening? Thanks.
