Very cool that you made a video about this menu. I have low vision and I am legally blind. I was using the LG enV Touch for years as it has a full QWERTY keyboard that allowed me to text since I knew a keyboard perfectly. A girlfriend I dated in 2015 made me get a smartphone I first bought a Used Samsung S4 and discovered many of the Accessibility options Android had to offer(I despise all Apple products). Google actually had a contest where you had to make a video of why you are a Pixel Superfan and I went into how great it is with my low vision and how much it bothers me that Apple has such a large grip on the blind/low vision community. I won the contest and they gave me a free Pixel Tablet! Whoops, that ended up being much longer that I meant for it to be!

Really nice video Sam. I am glad that finally someone is giving the accessibility menu some love. For most people it may either be just ignored or a curiosity, but for those of us who use the accessibility settings in there it's a en valuable resource.

Hey Sam! Great Video as usual, it'd be awesome and help me a lot if you could make one explaining every single option in the developer options menu! Much love from India!

Thanks in advance, Above and Beyond!

[mxmus]

Didn’t know what all the functions were used for as I only toggled those that were suitable for my needs. Thank you.

[akrammridha]

it would be great if you create a video about "Developer Option"

Sound Notification and Live Transcribe is not Pixel Exclusive. I have it on my Samsung s22 Ultra

[comosaycomosah]

Maybe im a noob but did you use some kind of widescreen setting bc when i use the mini player thing its wide af not like normal lol i like it

[kodadabird]

Hey Sam, I've been wondering for a while what keyboard you use. Is it just g board? Or do you have a custom one with a different theme?

Hey, so when i enable accessibility menu it show's arrows/buttons for scroll up/down in shorts on YouTube i dont want that but still want to keep accessibility menu on is there any way

[simplemindedmoron]

I wanted a video like this.... thanks...!

[ExFyumes]

The only reason why I don't use interactive controls is because when I watch YouTube Shorts, the controls to either swipe up or down and pause/play button don't disappear. It just ruins the user experience.

Anyway, thanks for the vid. Now I know what those Accessibility settings are for.
