It's estimated that 15% of the world's population has a disability. And you know, we (I'm one in that 15%) use mobile phones and apps too. But not every app is accessible for different types of assistive technologies and strategies - meaning that apps often exclude some of the (potential) users. Making apps completely accessible might sound like a lot of work - but as Meryl Evans, professional speaker, accessibility marketing consultant, and writer, says: "Progress over perfection." So let's start from somewhere!

In this talk, I will discuss one aspect of improving Android app accessibility: With Jetpack Compose and Modifiers. We will look at four modifiers: clickable, selectable, toggleable, and magnifier. From listening to this talk, you will learn how these modifiers can help you to improve accessibility and how to work with them.
