Accessibility settings on BrowserStack real iOS devices
To make digital content accessible to people with disabilities, the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) provide guidelines for designing and testing websites with focus on accessibility. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) guide on mobile accessibility describes how WCAG is applicable to web apps and mobile apps, to make them more accessible for people with disabilities.
iOS devices provide a number of accessibility features that you can turn on during device setup and adjust using the Settings app, as defined in Apple documentation.
