Sometimes you can create your own accessibility elements from scratch to group elements too. Perhaps because they're not contained in the same superview. You can combine these elements' frames and provide a suitable accessibility label.

When setting isAccessibilityElement to true, assistive tech like VoiceOver will stop looking for other accessible elements in that view hierarchy. So if we make a view accessible, its subviews, including buttons and labels won't be accessible.
What is the difference between isAccessibilityElement and accessibilityElementsHidden? The first one makes the view not accessible, but its subviews can still be accessible. The second one hides the view and all its subviews from assistive tech.
Grouping elements in SwiftUI is extremely easy! You can use the .accessibility(children: .combine) modifier. And that's it! It merges properties. For example, generating an accessibility label by joining the children's ones, separated by commas.
