RE: VoiceOver links are inaccessible in a body of text in an app

I suspect that they aren't links or that javascript is being used to create a link. An <a> without a href does not behave as a link: nor does a div with js inside. The other possibility without seeing it is that the 'links' are in a pop-up and that sits miles down the DOM from where that new layer activates.

There may be other reasons of course

It may need either aria or rewriting.

Hi all.

A banking app built in Swift UI. VoiceOver users are unable to swipe to the links in a body of text. I haven't access to the code. I have checked other banks and its fine I can swipe to the links individually. Any ideas on what this could be?

Thanks
