Your device includes a comprehensive set of accessibility features that adapt the smartphone experience to your needs. Access all settings via Settings > Accessibility.

Vision Accessibility (Android & iPhone)

Modern smartphones offer built-in tools to help make your screen easier to see and use. You can access these features by going to Settings and selecting Accessibility on both Android and iPhone devices.

  • Screen Readers: If you have difficulty seeing the screen, you can enable TalkBack (Android) or VoiceOver (iPhone). This feature reads all on-screen text and buttons out loud.

  • Zoom and Magnification: To see small details more clearly, use the Magnification (Android) or Zoom (iPhone) tool to enlarge specific parts of your screen.

  • Text Size and Display: You can make reading more comfortable by increasing the font size.
    On Android, go to Settings > Display > Font Size.

    On iPhone, go to Settings > Display & Brightness > Text Size.

  • Color Adjustments: To improve visibility or reduce eye strain, you can use Color Correction (Android) or Color Filters (iPhone) to change how colors appear on the display.

  • High Contrast Text: For better readability against different backgrounds, enable High Contrast Text (Android) or Increase Contrast (iPhone) to make text stand out more sharply.

Hearing

  • Live Caption: Automatically captions audio playing on your device in real-time — videos, podcasts, voice messages.

  • Sound Amplifier: Uses your earphones to amplify and filter sounds in your environment.

  • Hearing Aid Compatibility: Rated M3/T4 for hearing aid compatibility.

  • Vibration: Customize vibration intensity and patterns for notifications and calls.

Motor and Interaction

  • Voice Access: Control your entire phone with voice commands — open apps, navigate screens, type, and edit text.

  • Switch Access: Use external switches or keyboard keys to interact with your device.

  • Touch and Hold Delay: Adjust the time required for a touch-and-hold gesture (short, medium, or long).

  • One-Handed Mode: Shrink the display to the bottom corner for easier reach (swipe down on the navigation bar).

Tip: Settings may vary slightly depending on your device model and software version.
