Re: Focus indication on press on mobile

As the reference is not  to the pressed / active state of a button
like a mute / video-on button, I imagine it is  an action button like
"Make payment", say in a bill-payment app.
One would expect the app to display 'Thankyou   for your payment' /
'Sorry request cannot be processed' type message pretty much
instantly; else it is the app's functionality issue. If it the app is
going to require a few seconds to process the transaction, I would
imagine, "Please wait ... processing" message to be displayed.
Otherwise all users would be at a loss. I would not flag it as an
accessibility issue.
Best wishes,
