Skip content on iOS
It can be helpful for users to skip repeated blocks of content. Most apps have content which appears on multiple screens. It takes longer for users of using assistive technologies to get navigate past repeated content. Adding the ability to skip past repeated content helps these users to navigate quicker.
On iOS, skipping content is mostly relevant to VoiceOver
users. VoiceOver includes a rotor
which allows users to jump to the following content types:
Headers
Links
Form Controls
Containers
Text
Lines
Characters
Words
Jumping to headers
and links
is used most often.
Provide appropriate accessibility markup to your content by using accessibilityTraits
