Does WCAG 2.1 apply to mobile apps?
WCAG—specifically WCAG 2.1 AA—enables organizations to improve their existing web content and mobile apps in order to comply with legal requirements and make their products accessible to all.
What is accessibility in mobile apps?
“Mobile accessibility” refers to making websites and applications more accessible to people with disabilities when they are using mobile phones and other devices. WAI's work in this area addresses accessibility issues of people using a broad range of devices to interact with the web, including: phones and tablets.
Do apps need to be WCAG compliant?
While WCAG conformance is voluntary, ADA compliance is mandatory. The WCAG framework provides the best roadmap for designing mobile content with an accessible mindset.
