Hello:

i have a suggestion that might help not only me, but others as well. Is it possible to add an “Accessibility features” discussion area? My logic here is that since accessibility is a big part of apple’s product design strategy; maybe those features like VoiceOver, Zoom, etc. across all the various apple products should have their own discussion area. This benefits as follows:
1. It’s a single place to ask about and get help for the various accessibility tools for those looking for help
2. It enables someone like me to better find topics that match my area of expertise instead of having to run various searches or dig through every forum area looking for questions to answer.

these are just my thoughts, take from them what you will.
 
Sounds like a good idea to me. And I'd suggest having a separate area for Accessibility under both:

iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch > iOS and iPadOS

and​

Macs > macOS

wow! I was thinking just a general “Accessibility” area with a little blue and white accessibility icon… but I should’ve thought to break it out as MacOS and iOS/iPadOS accessibility are the same yet different. So yeah… thank goodnesses for others who can improve on ideas

Full disclosure: I use (rotate between) 2 Android tablets.
Mostly because the Opera browser can text wrap automatically and I don't think the iPad OS version does.
I rarely use my Windows 10 PC.
I believe Safari wraps text when increasing font size.
A forum member told me so.
I need to learn as much as possible before jumping ship to an iPad.
So I'm in on this idea for visual help.
I zoom in about 10X from what would be normal.

Good ideal. Especially since so many features seem to be 'hidden' or 'connected' to using the Accessibility functions.
