Meta’s new social media network, Threads, launches without taking into account how users with various disabilities access software.

As a follow up to a similar post from last month, here is a more detailed list of barriers to access, compiled by AbilityNet.

  • Inaccessible images
  • No headings
  • Navigation issues
  • Button trouble
  • Reloading difficulties
  • Color contrast problems
  • Media issues
  • Portrait-only orientation

    Thanks for post, very informative analysis. I hope other app and web designers learn from facebook/threads failures.
