Apple will add a custom accessibility mode in iOS 16.2. Apple is working on a new customizable accessibility mode for iPhone and iPad, if the news is to be believed.
macOS Ventura 13.0.1 update available
Apple released iOS 16.2 Beta 2 this week. The new beta enabled 5G support in India, a new medication tracking widget, and more. 9to5Mac also found references to “custom accessibility mode” in the update code.
Inside the company, the new mode is still called “Clarity”. This mode changes the standard iPhone home screen and lock screen (which are based on Springboard) to a simplified iOS interface. On the new interface, the text is displayed larger, like other elements of the system. In addition, only a certain number of allowed contacts are available in the mode, and the interface of the Messages application has been simplified.
The new accessibility mode should make it easier for people with disabilities to use their iPhones. Such users will be able to use the basic functions of the smartphone, including calls, messages and music playback. Other features and third-party applications will not be available.
So far, the function is not available even in the beta version of the system, so it may not appear in the public version of iOS 16.2. Perhaps Apple has yet to finalize it, so it’s too early to wait for its release.
