While there are still more Android Accessibility Features we could talk (or write) about, let’s take a break and look at some of the Accessibility Features of iPhones!

Vision Related Accessibility Settings

Vision related Accessibility settings covers options to meet each individuals users’ vision needs, and preferences. Options such as adjusting colors, using dark mode, adjusting text size, zoom, and hearing text read aloud are included in this category.

• If you find the color of items on screen difficult to see, try adjusting some of the
  Color Settings or use Dark Mode
• If reading text on your iPhone is difficult, you can use Zoom, or adjust settings to make text easier to see

• To reduce the visual motion, say from animations or screen transitions, you can choose to stop or reduce onscreen motion on your iPhone
