Mobile Accessibility
Mobile accessibility is governed by the same WCAG 2.1 criteria as the web, but the testing environment, assistive technologies, and common failure patterns are entirely different. VoiceOver on iOS and TalkBack on Android behave differently from desktop screen readers; touch targets, gestures, and native component semantics require platform-specific knowledge. These guides cover WCAG 2.1 mobile requirements, platform-specific testing procedures, and the most common failures found in iOS and Android accessibility audits.
