Mobile Development with Fexingo: iOS, Android, and App Building Conversations

Mobile App Accessibility in 2026 What Developers Still Get Wrong


Listen Later

Lucas and Luna dive into the state of mobile app accessibility in mid-2026. They discuss why most developers still treat accessibility as an afterthought, using concrete examples like missing alt text in ride-sharing apps and poor color contrast in banking apps. Lucas shares data from a recent WebAIM study showing that 96% of home pages have detectable WCAG failures, and Luna challenges the notion that accessibility is only for 'edge cases.' The conversation covers practical tools like Apple's VoiceOver and Android's TalkBack, the business case for accessibility (including the $790 billion disposable income of people with disabilities in the US), and why inclusive design often leads to better UX for everyone. No jargon, just real talk about what the mobile dev community gets wrong and how to fix it.
