While not directly related to the post, I have found that a surprising number of people with limited vision do not know about iOS’s Display Zoom feature, which is much better supported than Dynamic Text given the former only relies on developers handling different screen resolutions properly.
While it doesn’t blow things up by 200% like what AirBnb’s approach supports, it’s a quick way to make a big difference for people.
- jwells89 2y agoOn iOS, if devs are building with UIKit or SwiftUI, Dynamic Text can be well supported by just using parameterized fonts or font sizes alongside SF Symbols, no need to concern oneself with specific resolutions. With a little extra work, custom fonts are capable of this too[0]. Apps built this way will work well on devices with new resolutions or even form factors with little manual involvement on the dev’s part.
