How to Properly Handle Text Scaling in Flutter for Better Accessibility
Hey there! If you’re building apps in Flutter, you’ve probably noticed that text scaling is an important part of the user experience, especially when you want your app to be inclusive and accessible.
As developers, we tend to focus on visual design and aesthetics, but accessibility is often overlooked.
And one of the most important aspects of accessibility is making sure that your app’s text can adjust to the needs of your users, especially those with visual impairments.
When I first started working on Flutter text scaling, I was just focused on making sure the UI looked good. But then, I realized that not everyone has the same visual needs.
Some users might have a larger font size set on their devices, while others might have a smaller one.
If your app doesn’t account for these preferences, it could become a challenge for some users to read the content. That’s when I decided to take a deeper dive into Flutter’s text scaling features.
In this blog, I’ll walk you through how to properly handle Flutter text scaling, why it’s important, and how you can implement it in your app to make it more accessible for everyone.
