Mobility

Interact with your mobile devices via other assistive technology apps and devices, a voice, facial expressions, gestures, or a simple tap.

Accessible features

Devices have helpful features and offer a wide range of innovative solutions that increase accessibility to assist our users with mobility or movement-related challenges. 

Apple iOS mobile device accessibility features

Below are helpful links for customers with mobility-related challenges on the Apple iOS Accessibility Support Website:

Accessibility Shortcut - Turn accessibility features on or off with Siri, triple-clicking the side or home button, or using the Control Center.

AssistiveTouch - Use with or without a compatible adaptive accessory (such as a joystick) to perform actions that are difficult for you and to control your iPhone.

Dictation - Use to dictate text anywhere instead of or in addition to typing it.

Facetime - Video chat and stay connected with friends and family, whether they’re using an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or a Mac.

Guided Access - Stay focused on a task by temporarily restricting your iPhone to a single app and allowing you to control which app features are available.

LED Flash Alerts -  Set the LED light (next to the camera lens on the back of the iPhone) to flash to announce incoming calls and other alerts.

Siri - Use this iOS personal assistant to open apps and turn many settings on or off. 

Switch Control - Use the screen, camera, microphone, or the back of the iPhone to select, tap, drag, type, select an item or location on the screen, or choose an action.

Touch Accommodations - Adjust how the touchscreen responds to a tap, swipe, touch-and-hold gestures, or recognize faster or slower touches and ignore multiple touches.

Voice Control - Use your voice to direct the phone to perform gestures, interact with screen elements, dictate and edit text, and more.

Zoom - Magnify the entire screen (Full-Screen Zoom) or magnify only part of the screen with a resizable lens no matter what you’re doing. 

Android mobile device accessibility features

Below are helpful links for customers with mobility-related challenges on the Android Accessibility Support Website:

Accessibility Shortcut - Turn on accessibility apps or switch between apps by using shortcuts that you set to use.

Android Accessibility Suite - Customize your device with common accessibility settings and apps.

Action Blocks - Simplify your home screen by adding common actions with a name or an image.

Magnification  - Zoom in to see your texts and emails better.

Quick Settings - Add favorite accessibility features to a swipe-down menu for easier access.

Select to Speak -  Select items on your screen and hear them read or described aloud.

Switch Access - Interact with the device using the screen, camera, microphone, or the back of the device instead of the touchscreen. Helpful if you have difficulty interacting directly with your device.

TalkBack - Allows users to interact with devices. It uses spoken word, vibration, and other audible feedback to inform what is on the screen and what can be done with it.

Text-to-speech - Convert text input and play audio aloud.

Touch & hold delay - Adjusts the amount of time before your tap on the screen triggers an action.

Time to take action - Choose how long to show temporarily visible messages that require you to take action.

Voice Access - Control your device with spoken commands. Use your voice to open apps, navigate, and edit text hands-free.
