[nabs-l] Apparent Accessibility Bug in Facebook iOS App

[annajee82 at gmail.com]

Yes it seems that there are actually quite a few things in the IOS facebook app that are inaccessible with VO.  For events the option to change from private to public is at the very top between "cancel" and "create" but voiceover totally skips over it.  There is no way to get to it.  And you cannot click on the date to set it, although this works fine without voiceover. 
Does reporting it to facebook help?
