People with low vision or other issues take text and viewing objects on a screenland welfare enormously from iOS and iPadOS ’s availableness feature . They ’re also useful for everyone who detect the nonpayment for text and button that Apple set up or that appear in apps to not go within their range of visual acuity .

Apple has a little - used feature that can enhance Accessibility that ’s likely overlooked by most user : Per - App configurations . Go to preferences > Accessibility > Per - App configurations whether or not you have turned onanyAccessibility features .

If you have enabled Accessibility option , such as a large text size of it or higher contrast , you may overthrow those changes for a special app . Apple makes textbook , push button shape , label , transparency , contrast , color specialization , and eversion useable , as well as control over motion , video recording car - playing , and crabbed - fades .

So if you have bumped up the textbook size , but one of your apps ca n’t resize aright with those background , add it to Per - App options and reduce the schoolbook size of it so you could continue to use the app — although with less ocular comfort . ( you may also write the developer and rent them know with sieve captures what ’s wrong . )

With no Accessibility choice turned on , you could enable them in specific apps using the same setting . Say the buttons or subprogram of buttons are severe to read in an app ? Turn on Button Shapes and Labels and see if that helps .

Accessibility is for everyone , and this out - of - the - mode characteristic helps demonstrate that principle .
