Calendar Day Cells Too Small to Tap in Compact View

2.5.8 — Target Size (Minimum)

Scenario

Setting

A photo-sharing app's upload screen

What’s wrong

Calendar day cells or time slots under 24px in compact views.

Example

.icon-button { width: 16px; height: 16px; }

Why it matters

People with tremor or larger touch contact areas, and anyone tapping on a moving vehicle.

How to test

Measure calendar day cells or time-slot targets in a compact view: under 24px with no spacing compensation fails.

How to fix

The target must be at least 24x24 CSS px, or have enough spacing that a 24px circle around its center overlaps no other target, or a compliant equivalent control must exist. .icon-button { width: 24px; height: 24px; } Interactive targets need at least 24 by 24 CSS pixels, or enough spacing that adjacent targets don't overlap that minimum.

Outcome

On a photo-sharing app's upload screen, this barrier is gone for people with tremor or larger touch contact areas — they get the same result as anyone else here.
