Telegram and Digital Blindness: the accessibility challenges that remain unresolved
This article highlights the main accessibility issues faced by TalkBack users on Telegram.
Let’s Talk About #Accessibility on #Telegram
My friend José Carlos from the @Telenewstech channel has published an important blog post after several days of testing Telegram with TalkBack, the screen reader used by many blind and visually impaired users.
His findings are concerning: many Telegram features are still not accessible, making the app difficult or even impossible to use for people with vision impairments. As he rightly points out, if these issues are not highlighted, they will continue to be ignored.
This post is a call to action.
It’s not just a critique—it includes detailed feedback and, most importantly, links to two reports on Telegram’s bug and suggestion platform. You can help simply by voting on these reports. It’s quick, free, and could make a real difference.
