on Oct 21, 2025 I agree we should add support for all of these accessibility settings if possible, thanks for flagging. CC @chunhtai for any thoughts on exactly where these settings should come in. I also added
fyi-iosin case ios folks have thoughts or are already aware.See also MediaQueryData.disableAnimations. I was just working on a way to pause gifs for that (#176492).

- Status
(Replaces #177195, which was about just one setting. This issue covers the whole bundle of related settings.)
Use case
In the Zulip app for iOS, we'd like to check whether the iOS 17+ "Auto-Play Animated Images" setting is enabled, so that when loading an image, we can choose between animated and still versions.
Proposal
I propose adding new fields to
AccessibilityFeatures, providing "Auto-Play Animated Images" and, for completeness, all the related settings in that Apple user doc:AccessibilityFeatures.reduceMotion)We would follow the existing pattern of iOS-only fields, such as
AccessibilityFeatures.onOffSwitchLabels, by saying in the dartdocs "Only supported on iOS."
