This commit improves VoiceOver support by adding descriptive accessibility labels to all icon-only buttons and visual indicators in the app. This ensures users with visual impairments can understand and interact with all UI elements.
Changes made:
- Send message button: Added label "Send message" with context-aware hints
- Navigation buttons: Added "Back to main chat" labels for back arrows
- Favorite stars: Dynamic labels that change between "Add to favorites" and "Remove from favorites"
- Lock icons: Context-aware labels for password protection status
- Signal strength indicators: Descriptive labels (excellent/good/fair/poor) instead of color-only information
- Unread message indicators: Clear labels for envelope and number icons
- People/channel counts: Proper pluralization and descriptive text
- Save/bookmark buttons: Labels indicating retention enable/disable action
Technical details:
- Used .accessibilityLabel() for descriptive text
- Added .accessibilityHint() for additional context where helpful
- Used .accessibilityHidden(true) to hide redundant decorative elements
- All labels are dynamic and update based on current state
This change ensures BitChat meets WCAG accessibility guidelines and provides a better experience for all users.
