Apple Announces iOS 18 Accessibility Features, Including Eye Tracking

Apple today previewed several new accessibility features coming later this year with software updates like iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and visionOS 2. The announcement comes one day ahead of Global Accessibility Awareness Day.

Notably, an Eye Tracking feature is coming to the iPhone and iPad:

Powered by artificial intelligence, Eye Tracking gives users a built-in option for navigating iPad and iPhone with just their eyes. Designed for users with physical disabilities, Eye Tracking uses the front-facing camera to set up and calibrate in seconds, and with on-device machine learning, all data used to set up and control this feature is kept securely on device, and isn’t shared with Apple.
