Accessibility Statement

Our aim

MyLife should work for everyone – with VoiceOver, with large text, with Switch Control or Voice Control. We look for what gets in the way and fix it.

In the app

VoiceOver: buttons, entries and settings have names that VoiceOver reads, and the timeline, your people and the map can be used with it. Rows that you otherwise hold and drag can be moved with “Move up” and “Move down” – with Switch Control too. Photos can be zoomed with actions instead of pinching, and results and errors are announced.

Text size: MyLife follows the text size you set on your device, up to the largest accessibility sizes – and doesn't cut lines off there. Bold Text works too, and at the largest sizes, holding a button in a bar shows it large.

Colors and motion: MyLife's colors give text a contrast of at least 4.5:1, in light and in dark appearance. With Reduce Motion on, MyLife tones down its animations – on the timeline, on the map and in the introduction.

Testing: before every new version, automated tests go through the main screens with Apple's accessibility audit.

On the website

The pages have one main heading and headings in order, describe their pictures and can be used with the keyboard, with a visible focus. You can zoom them, they follow the light or dark appearance of your device, and they only move when your device doesn't ask for less motion. The website needs no script to work; the only one, the anonymous count of visits, changes nothing about using it.

What doesn't work yet

Photos have no descriptions yet – VoiceOver can't say what a photo shows.

PDF reports contain real text that screen readers can read, but no structure: headings and the reading order aren't marked in them.

We want to improve both.

How we checked

We assessed MyLife ourselves: with Apple's accessibility audit in automated tests of the app, and by checking the website for headings, image descriptions, contrast and zoom. This statement was written in November 2026; we update it when MyLife changes.
