Rule

The size of the target for pointer inputs is at least 44 by 44 CSS pixels unless there is an equivalent control that is large enough, the control is in a block of text, the target size is controlled by the user agent, or the control size is essential.

Background

When touch target sizes are too small, people with limited dexterity or motor control can have a difficult time activating the target or may activate a target they didn’t intend to. Large target sizes help people successfully accomplish tasks and prevent errors.

How to Fix

Fix this issue by ensuring that the touch target size for the control is at least 44 by 44 CSS pixels.
