Accessibility option for disabled people
-
Hi. I installed Ubuntu touch on Pixel 3a. Unfortunately, I can't find the disabled accessibility option anywhere. I am a disabled person - I have vision problems and the screen enlargement option saves my life. I use it in Linux on the computer. There are also such options on Android. Unfortunately, I didn't find anything like that in Ubuntu Touch. how can I enable this functionality? As soon as I manage to do this, I will immediately give up Android and Ubuntu Touch will remain my operating system on the smartphone.

@doliwa Hi, and welcome to the community... Unfortunately, there is no such option yet on Ubuntu Touch (UT). But I do believe that it should be possible to get a motivated team together to at least investigate what would be needed to get this ball rolling and making of UT the best Linux Mobile OS with regards to accessibility out there.

Hi @doliwa
There is some things that you could do and that I hope is enough for your user case.
Here is my ideas:
First install UT tweak tool from the app store. In this app you are able to change the scaling/size of icons, text, interface and more.
You are able in some apps to zoom in/out by using two fingers, example is the message app.
I hope that this is enough for you

Thank you for your answers and suggestions regarding available options. I also checked droidian, which has more accessibility options in the system. Unfortunately, it has worse Waydroid support (e.g. bridge for BT not working). So I returned to UT and I hope that as the system develops, there will also be accessibility options for people with disabilities.
