Accessible Mobile Apps - Issue #72

Hey y'all,

Hope you're having a great week.

Did you know W3C has a Mobile Accessibility Task Force? This group of experts is working on a guidance document for us to know how to concretely apply WCAG to mobile applications. 🤩

In the video below, I chat with two members of the task force, JJ and Tanya, about what they're doing, how to contribute, and how to follow their progress.

Guidance on Applying WCAG 2.2 to Mobile Applications (WCAG2Mobile)

To see the guidance that the task force has published so far, check it out here:

Guidance on Applying WCAG 2.2 to Mobile Applications (WCAG2Mobile)

This document describes how Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 [WCAG22] principles, guidelines, and success criteria can be applied to mobile applications, including native mobile apps, mobile web apps and hybrid apps using web components inside native mobile apps. It provides informative guidance (guidance that is not normative and does not set requirements).
