Assistive Access App Compatibility

An overview of Assistive Access support across commonly installed iOS apps. Assistive Access is an iOS feature that simplifies the iPhone experience for users with cognitive disabilities, offering a streamlined interface with larger text and buttons. We would have called this repository awesome-assistive-access if it wasn't for what we found.

Note: This overview is based on a targeted survey conducted in March 2026. Apps were selected across multiple categories to ensure broad coverage: popular mainstream apps, award-winning indie apps, accessibility-focused tools, apps specifically targeting Assistive Access user groups, and government services. At the time of testing, only one third-party app shipped a dedicated Assistive Access interface.

What is Assistive Access?

Assistive Access was introduced in iOS 17 and provides a simplified experience with:

• Large text and buttons
• High-contrast visual design
• Streamlined app layouts
• Reduced cognitive load

For more information, see Apple's Assistive Access documentation.
