View State in Element Accessibility Label

Note:
  • Rule Category : Accessibility Labels
  • WCAG Guidelines : 2.1 - 1.3.1 (A)
  • Rule Severity : Serious
  • Supported Platforms : Android, iOS

Description

Avoid including view state information in the accessible name. Screen readers automatically announce an element’s type and state. Including this information can be redundant or may even cause potential conflicts with the view’s current state.

How to fix

  • Ensure that accessibility labels does not contain information about the state of a view. Assistive technologies automatically convey the element’s type and current state alongside its accessible name.
