Immich lacks accessibility for blind users about immich HOT 4 OPEN

Hey @cyrmax, thanks for the feedback!

I've been focusing on improving the accessibility of the web interface recently, using Apple VoiceOver to test and comparing to Google Photos for reference.

As a sighted developer, I also value feedback from immich users on Discord or GitHub to learn more about what the accessibility pain points are. Are there any particular features or tasks in immich mobile or web apps that you find challenging to use? Any insights that you share will be helpful for prioritizing future work!

I am currently working on #10336, to improve screen readers announcing photo descriptions in the mobile app.

@ben-basten you've already done quite a bit of work in this direction on the web client, right?

Hello!
Thanks for so quick reply and even more for the work you are doing.
Unfortunately deep accessibility testing is not so quick and easy, so I cannot spend enough time to it until next weekend.
But I will find a time and try to write as much as I can.
Btw I didn't try an iOS app yet, but can check also.
I have an iPhone but it is only for work and I don't use it so often, so just didn't come to my mind.

I know accessibility testing is time-intensive, especially testing for multiple platforms. Thanks in advance for any time that you are able to put into this, I appreciate your feedback!
