Apple asks us to consider the combine behavior, before using ignore, for .accessibilityElement(children: ). And for good reason, if combine works, and later on you decide to change the UI, the accessibility attributes will be updated for you.

It is possible to change the traversing order of accessibility elements by configuring the accessibilityElements array. You should try to avoid it, but one good reason for doing it is if the default order is illogical because of the visual layout.
Today starts the #WWDC22 . Apple announces what new APIs we'll be able to use to make more inclusive and accessible apps. There's also Labs, Digital Lounges and Sessions, for free. Check out the schedule here: https://developer.apple.com/wwdc25/topics/accessibility-inclusion/ Last year, Apple presented Audio Graphs to make graphs more accessible. This year, they introduced Swift Charts, that lets you build a wide variety of charts in SwiftUI and they have great VoiceOver support. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/Charts @dnlyong has a great thread going through lots of the new accessibility features presented this year. https://x.com/dnlyong/status/1533897274274639873 As noted by @RobRWAPP and @mecid, Apple is tweaking the style of the SwiftUI accessibility modifiers. https://x.com/RobRWAPP/status/1533900962615762945 Sessions this year include topics like gaming (with Unity), localisation and internationalisation. You can check these (as they get published during the week) and previous accessibility sessions here: https://developer.apple.com/videos/accessibility-inclusion/ SwiftUI lets you now add multiple accessibility actions at once and quick actions to be show by the system when active: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/view/accessibilityactions(_:)?changes=latest_minor https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/view/accessibilityquickaction(style:content:)?changes=latest_minor
Images can automatically scale for accessibility content size categories, by setting the adjustsImageSizeForAccessibilityContentSizeCategory property to true, for any UIImageView you'd like to get its size adjusted. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uiaccessibilitycontentsizecategoryimageadjusting/adjustsimagesizeforaccessibilitycontentsizecategory
