Accessibility
Current is built with accessibility in mind, supporting VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, Reduce Motion, and other iOS accessibility features.
VoiceOver
Current fully supports VoiceOver, Apple's screen reader:
- All interactive elements have descriptive labels
- Article content is fully accessible
- Navigation and actions are keyboard-accessible
- Gestures have VoiceOver alternatives
Dynamic Type
Text throughout Current scales with your system text size preference:
- All UI text respects Dynamic Type settings
- Article content in the reader scales appropriately
- Layouts adapt to larger text sizes
Reader Font Scale
In addition to Dynamic Type, the reader has its own font scale slider for fine-tuning article text size independently.
Reduce Motion
When Reduce Motion is enabled in iOS Settings:
- Animations are minimized or removed
- Ambient/breathing animations are disabled
- Transitions are instant or cross-fade only
- All functionality remains available
Reduce Transparency
When Reduce Transparency is enabled:
- Blur effects are replaced with solid backgrounds
- Contrast is improved
- Readability is enhanced
High Contrast
Current respects the Increase Contrast accessibility setting:
- Text-to-background contrast is increased
- Borders become more visible
- Interactive elements are more distinct
Color Blindness
Current doesn't rely solely on color to convey information:
- Icons accompany color indicators
- Status is communicated through text and shape
- The accent color is distinguishable across color vision types
Touch Targets
All interactive elements meet minimum size guidelines:
- Buttons are at least 44×44 points
- Adequate spacing between targets
- Gestures have generous recognition zones
Haptic Feedback
Haptic feedback provides non-visual confirmation of actions. For users who cannot see the screen, haptics help confirm that gestures were recognized.
