Android Accessibility Suite requires Android 6 (Android M) or later. To use TalkBack for Wear, you'll need Wear OS 3.0 or later.

Ratings and reviews

The only thing I don't like about this is that it seems like there's no set way to set how you bring up the different menus because there's a lot of accessibility settings on the pixel 10 pro. but only like three different ways to bring them up and they don't always show. ex: two fingers swipe up doesn't always show up but volume buttons does and sometimes the accessibility character in the bottom right will be an option and sometimes it's not but it's mainly the two finger swipe.
