Head to your iPhone’s Settings. Next, tap Accessibility. On the Accessibility page, find Audio/Visual and select it. From there, search for “Background Sounds” and toggle it on. Wild. Why is it under accessibility?

Some people (often autistic) need these types of noise to get through a day because they are sound sensitive. So it was originally added for them. Much like a lot of accommodations for disabled people, it turns out to be useful for a lot of other folks too. :)

  Accessibility is the last line of defense in fight for general ergonomics, because it sets legal limits on how shitty and user-abusive the UI/UX can get.

    Ask any software tester: “if I can’t get to that screen element, how is a screen reader supposed to?”

In a similar vein, I always enable 3-finger drag on my Mac. This used to be in Touchpad settings, but it's now in accessibility.

  It’s absolutely wild to me that this isn’t the default. I can hardly believe people can use trackpads without it and not rip their hair out.

Apple loves stuffing features and settings under accessibility. They are technically not wrong, but it's getting a little weird.
