Data Tables

Data table cells need to have their row and column header text spoken to VoiceOver users. Set the .accessibilityHint, .accessibilityValue, or .accessibilityLabel for each cell to include its row and column header text.

The data table should also have a heading set as the .accessibilityLabel for the group.

Use .accessibilityElement(children: .contain) and .accessibilityLabel("Table Name") to give the table a group label that is spoken to VoiceOver users when they first focus on a cell in the table.

Notes:

  • iOS has no native data table semantics like <table>, <th>, <td>, or <caption> elements in HTML, however, there is a native Table() element designed only for iPad and macOS which has an accessibility platform defect listed below.

Platform Defects:

  • Native Table() elements are designed to work only on iPad or macOS and have a platform defect where their row headers are not spoken to VoiceOver when moving between rows.
