How could they miss that? There’s even a SwiftUI Modifier for that behavior 😂

Accessibility improvements here should be made into a high priority.

My mom is almost completely blind and requires the biggest text size possible, and SO many apps break at those sizes. And they break in ways that’s not immediately clear that that’s the cause. Sometimes whole buttons are just not onscreen with no scroll view, so you’re left wondering whether you missed a step or if the text size is the problem this time. I almost wish it were possible to run iPhone apps on an iPad in mega-scaled-up mode to make the whole view bigger without breaking apps that don’t test at the accessibility extremes.
