And it is all accessible with VoiceOver on iOS. I presume TalkBack on Android as well. @delta chaos.social/@delta/1154793927…

We hereby challenge _all_ other messaging apps, FOSS or not, to provide a more convenient private onboarding experience than #deltachat

1. Install app
2. "Create new profile"
3. Enter nick name, tap "Agree and continue"
4. Tap "+" and "new contact" and provide/scan qr code/link

Voila! A secure private chat, familiar to those coming from Whatsapp or Telegram (without "AI", with #a11y).

Note: chat identities are private and can not be queried or discovered. Servers keep no track or metadata

Thanks for looking into this @Marco Zehe. As I am following @Delta Chat for a few months screen reader #a11y is really improving on all the platforms. Except user feetback it has under gone an #a11y audit.
For non accessibility related features, in the 3.22 version which may not yet be available in the apple store there are opt-in one to one video calls available for testing. I assume screen reader users will like such a feature at least I do.

@pvagner The desktop app is quite decent, although it's an Electron app. The one thing it is mising is a quick way to move between the panes, like the message pane and individual chat message history, and the entry field, via the keyboard, and a more efficient way than pressing tab a zillion times. Arrow key navigation within those lists and chats is already there.
