However, this issue is to draw attention to the fact that role="switch" should be announced as a "switch" with an "on" or "off" state, rather than the present role announcement of "checkbox" and state of "checked" or "unchecked". Making this change would match the implementation / announcements of macOS Safari + VO. The following link provides additional testing information and Switch demos. https://scottaohara.github.io/a11y_styled_form_controls/src/checkbox--switch/ Thank you! 1522069 1 webkit-bug-importer 2019-03-28 08:01:07 -0700 <rdar://problem/49379241> 1967220 2 darin.senneff 2023-07-18 11:54:11 -0700 Bumping this to say that this is still present 4 years later with iOS 16.5.1 VoiceOver + Safari. When encountering a role="switch" element, VoiceOver still calls the element a "checkbox" with a "checked" or "unchecked" state. Changing this to announce the element as a "switch" with an "on" or "off" state would bring iOS Safari in line with MacOS Safari, JAWS, NVDA, Narrator, and TalkBack; which all announce the element as such. 2007992 3 webkit.org 2024-01-26 11:19:05 -0800 I can still reproduce this problem with VoiceOver on iOS 17.3. 2008384 4 ntim 2024-01-28 23:02:53 -0800 Please check iOS 17.4 beta *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 268120 ***
