Hi, Well just to clarify, my show of gratitude lies really with the folks here at Access India, for putting pressure on Airtel to fix what they broke, not to Airtel themselves.
Clearly there are some of you here who are really empowered to effect positive change, and for that we are all surely grateful.

Yes, the app is behaving well now. 90% or less, I won't comment, but out of 4 tabs the App is having, the one "manage" is working really good now. the other 3, namely "Pay", "Shop" and "Help" still need improvements with screen reader access. I won't use big words like "Dedication", "commitment" etc because the App was not that crap about 3 years back, it was usable then. Why Airtel made App functionality like nightmare in first place? And it's because of us many people's constant efforts through various channels that Airtel felt to take this step. It took about 3 years for this realization. Though, step is taken towards desirable direction, we should wait and see for some time before making any such asumption like dedication for inclusivity for all, and so on and so forth.

The Airtel application has recently undergone significant updates, making it almost 90% accessible on Android phones for screen reader users. This improvement is a significant step towards inclusivity and ensures that more people can comfortably navigate and use the Airtel application with screen readers. It demonstrates Airtel's commitment to accessibility and providing an equal opportunity for everyone to access their services.

We believe that technology should be inclusive and empower everyone, regardless of their abilities. This update reflects Airtel's dedication to creating an accessible platform for all its users. We encourage visually impaired community members to update their Airtel application and explore the improved accessibility features. Your feedback is essential, and we welcome any suggestions or comments you may have to further improve accessibility. Together, let's celebrate steps towards a more inclusive digital world.
