Byte-Sized Brief
- Accessibility Nutrition Labels to debut on App Store.
- Magnifier app coming to Mac.
- Live Captions added to Apple Watch.
Today, Apple announced a major expansion of its accessibility tools that will arrive “later this year.” The company will add Accessibility Nutrition Labels to the App Store to make it easier for people to know whether an app supports features like VoiceOver, Larger Text, or captions. Mac users with low vision will soon have access to a dedicated Magnifier app, while the Apple Watch will get Live Captions to bring more communication options to people who are deaf or hard of hearing.
