Accessibility

What hoppin supports

VoiceOver

Buttons, tabs and settings are labelled, and decorative images are hidden so VoiceOver doesn’t read them out. Each message is read as one item: who sent it, the text, when, and whether it was sent, delivered or read. A message that went straight between the two phones says so. The Chats tab reads out how many messages are unread.

Larger text

Text follows the size you choose in Settings › Accessibility › Display & Text Size on your iPhone, including the larger accessibility sizes.

Dark mode

hoppin follows your iPhone’s light or dark appearance, and every colour in the app has a version for each.

Reduced motion

With Reduce Motion on, the moving backgrounds stop, the opening animation is skipped, and smaller touches like the typing dots and the welcome screens stay still. The backgrounds also stop in Low Power Mode.

Messages in your language

You can have a chat translated as messages arrive. Tap the translate button at the top of the chat. Translation runs on your iPhone, so nothing is sent to a translation service.

What we’re still working on

• At the very largest text sizes, some screens can feel crowded, and a long line may be cut short.
• hoppin doesn’t yet change its look for Reduce Transparency or Increase Contrast.
• We haven’t yet tested every screen with Voice Control or Switch Control.

If one of these gets in your way, please tell us. Hearing about it is how it moves up the list.

Tell us what doesn’t work

Write to support@hoppin.chatwith “Accessibility” in the subject. Tell us which screen it was, what you were trying to do, and which settings you use, such as VoiceOver or a text size. Please don’t send message content. We usually reply within a few working days.
