> How Expat Pocket works with VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, Dark Interface, and Reduce Motion — plus honest notes on Voice Control, colour, and captions.

Built to be used.

How VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, Dark Interface, and Reduce Motion work in the product today — and what we do not claim on the App Store.

## What we support  today.

- **VoiceOver (Supported)** — Buttons, tabs, and key actions carry VoiceOver and TalkBack labels across feed, messages, listings, meet, settings, and widgets. The house press component requires a name. Residual icon-only chrome is still being labelled.
- **Voice Control (Partial)** — Where a control has a spoken name, iOS Voice Control can target it. Map gestures, some sheets, and unlabeled icons have not had a dedicated Voice Control audit.
- **Larger Text (Supported)** — The app does not override Dynamic Type. Settings → Appearance states this in the product: text size comes from the system setting, not from an in-app slider.
- **Dark Interface (Supported)** — Appearance can follow the system, or lock to light or dark. Dark uses a raised card surface with light ink — not inverted colours.
- **Differentiate Without Color Alone (Partial)** — Toasts, errors, and confirmations use a glyph and a sentence, not colour alone. Maps, charts, and some decorative chrome still lean on colour more than we would like.
- **Sufficient Contrast (Supported)** — Body copy uses high-contrast ink tokens on paper (light) and on the dark card surface. Glass chrome and photographs are not the reading surface.
- **Reduced Motion (Supported)** — The app reads the iOS / Android reduce-motion flag. Transitions collapse to simpler cuts — toasts appear and dismiss without travel. This website also respects prefers-reduced-motion.
- **Captions (Not yet)** — Reels, stories, and live rooms do not offer closed captions. We will not tick Captions on the App Store until that ships.

## What we do not  claim.

- Captions on in-app video are not a product feature yet.
- Voice Control has not had a dedicated audit of every map gesture and sheet.
- Some older icon-only chrome still needs spoken names.
- This website is light-only. Dark Interface lives in the app.
- This page is not a WCAG certificate.
