Anything representing a heading in the app should have the header trait. It allows for a faster way of exploring a screen and jumping to the part of the app you are interested in. Screens should also start with a header.
Some of you have asked me how you can support what I do. This would really help, and would be hugely appreciated:
Find these posts useful? Share them at work, on social media, or with anyone that might find them interesting. Let's spread the word!
Check out any of my apps or games: Xarra!, RetroRapid!, or Mestre!.
A download and a review go a long way. They're free by default. On the App Store, ratings and reviews really help more people discover them.
Finding any of them useful? If so, and if you can afford it, purchasing lifetime access to all features or subscribing lets me buy the coffee that keeps me caffeinated. Caffeine keeps me going to maintain the apps, bring in new features that I hope you'll love, and keep writing.

Potential benefits from grouping logical pieces of information and moving buttons to custom actions: reduce redundancy (by removing repetitive controls) and reduce cognitive load (by making easier to know what item will be affected by each action)
A similar experience can sometimes be achieved in different ways using labels, traits, and values. Most times there are no right or wrong answers; it will be up to your users to say which approach they like the most. Two great pieces of advice though: > **@Sommer:** "Check and see how Apple's own apps handle similar scenarios. Not because our apps are perfect but rather to help build on consistent patterns." > > Tweet by @Sommer > **@dotjay:** "Meet the platform expectations, and give users control rather than prescribing what you think users want." > > Tweet by @dotjay
Love this feature! Yahoo released the possibility to explore charts with audio, in the finance app, when using screen readers in 2019. You can do now something very similar since iOS 15. https://coolblindtech.com/yahoo-finance-app-makes-charts-accessible-to-blind-and-partially-sighted-users/ You can move your finger in the x-axes, and it will play a sound with a different pitch depending on the data in the y-axes, making it easier to identify trends in the graphs. You need to conform to the AXChart protocol by implementing the accessibilityChartDescriptor property.
