How do I make my carousel accessible?

The main carousel accessibility consideration for sighted users is to not make it auto-play. If you must make the carousel auto-play, then you need to provide a pause or stop button. If you use a pause or stop button, place it before the carousel, and provide descriptive link text like, “Pause animated content.”

What is a mobile carousel?

Mobile Carousels are multi-page messages that allow you to show your users around, provide support, and highlight features you know they'll love in your iOS or Android app. With no code required, Mobile Carousels are highly customizable and easy to create.

How can carousels be problematic for users with disabilities?

For auto-playing carousels, having content automatically disappear can cause loss of focus for screen reader and keyboard users that are reading or have keyboard focus on that content when it animates away. This can force the user back to the top of the page.
