Use when applies to all interactive elements on touchscreen interfaces: buttons, links, checkboxes, radio buttons, form inputs, icon buttons, and menu items. Check CSS for min-width, min-height, width, height, and padding on interactive elements. Particularly important for icon-only buttons (close, delete, share) which are often made too small.

# Provide sufficient touch target size

Motor disabilities such as essential tremor, Parkinson's disease, hemiplegia, and spasticity make it difficult to tap small targets with precision. A 24×24px icon button with no padding requires a fine-motor action that many users simply cannot perform. Insufficient tap target size is one of the most common barriers for users with mobility impairments on mobile and tablet devices. Even users without disabilities benefit from larger targets, reducing accidental activations.

## Quick Reference

- WCAG 2.2 SC 2.5.5 (AAA): touch targets must be at least 44×44 CSS pixels
- WCAG 2.2 SC 2.5.8 (AA, new in WCAG 2.2): targets must be at least 24×24 CSS pixels OR have 24px of spacing from other targets
- Apple HIG recommends 44×44 pt minimum; Google Material Design recommends 48×48 dp minimum
- Use `padding` to enlarge the interactive area without changing the visual size
- Inline text links are exempt from SC 2.5.8
