Accessibility

Make your apps accessible to everyone who uses Apple devices.

Overview

Accessibility features help a wide range of people interact with their devices. By creating your app with accessibility in mind, you make it possible for everyone to enjoy your app. Whether you’re developing a new app, or updating an existing one, consider the needs of all the people who might use your app.

For many, accessibility is a necessity. For others, it’s a practicality. For example, closed captions can be necessary for someone who is deaf or hard of hearing, but also useful for someone watching a video in a noisy environment. Learn more about how to support different types of accessibility needs in your app using Apple’s wide range of accessibility APIs.

Explore how sample apps leverage accessible design principles and accessibility APIs to create a great user experience for everyone.

Explore assistive technologies

People can personalize their devices by choosing the accessibility features and assistive technologies that give them the best user experience. Make sure your app provides a great experience for people who use assistive technologies by testing your app with them.

Add Accessibility Nutrition Labels to your product page

You can add Accessibility Nutrition Labels to your App Store product page to indicate which accessibility features your app supports on each platform. For example, a person who is blind or has low vision might seek apps that support VoiceOver or Larger Text.

For more information on adding Accessibility Nutrition Labels to your app, see Overview of Accessibility Nutrition Labels in App Store Connect Help.
