Subject: Visual focus indicator when using VO on iPhone
No previous message | Next message →

Hi Everyone,

I need some clarification on the visual focus indicator that you see on
Mobile when using VO. As far as I know, when using VO on mobile we see a
default focus for everything ( text and interactive) element.
So do we need separate visual focus as well, the way we see on the desktop
when using the TAB key? And what developers need to do , so that mobile
users don't see the extra visual focus as on desktop when using VO with
swipe gestures.

Looking forward to your valuable feedback!

Thanks in advance! Have a great week ahead.

Regards,
-Radhika

The focus that VO sets is separate from anything the author can define
on their page. And VO doesn't trigger :focus styles when you navigate
around, so there's nothing authors can actually do here.

In iOS 13 Apple introduced the ability to provide full keyboard support without VoiceOver - thus folks should consider shifting to evaluate content with the keyboard without VoiceOver running unless folks are making a claim that VoiceOver is the keyboard interface used to claim conformance to SC 2.1.1.
