What is Voice Over?

VoiceOver is iOS's built-in screen reader that allows users who are blind or have low vision to navigate and interact with apps using gestures and spoken audio feedback. Apps support VoiceOver by providing accessibility labels, traits, and hints on UI elements. Testing with VoiceOver enabled is essential for verifying an accessible user experience.
