Customize Per App Accessibility Settings on iPhone and iPad

So, what are the requirements for changing Accessibility settings on a per-app basis? Well, your device must be running iOS 14 or later to be able to use per-app Accessibility features. If your device is not updated, head over to the Settings app > General > Software Update and then download and install the latest iteration of iOS or iPadOS.

  1. To get started, open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
  2. In the Settings menu, scroll down and choose Accessibility.
  3. Next, scroll down to the bottom of the screen and choose Per-App Settings.
  4. Next up, tap on Add App.
  5. Up next, you should see a long list of apps. Now, choose the desired app and then tap on it to access the Accessibility settings.
  6. After that, go ahead and customize the Accessibility settings depending on your needs. For instance, you can enable/disable Smart Invert, customize display & text and adjust contrast. Moreover, you can also prevent Safari videos from playing automatically on your iPhone. Later, if you ever wish to make changes, return to this same settings -> select the app and then make the needed changes.
