Rule

The page MUST allow users to zoom in on mobile devices.

Background

People who have low vision may not be able to read text on a mobile device. Allowing people to pinch-to-zoom web content is essential for some people to be able to read text. When mobile content can be zoomed, it helps people read the content as well as helps people activate small controls.

How to Fix

Fix this issue by ensuring that neither of the following two properties (that will effectively suppress pinch-to-zoom) are set on the meta viewport element: user-scalable=no and maximum-scale=1.0.
