**Name of Product:** [Rocket.Chat](http://Rocket.Chat)

**Platform:** iOS

**Report Date:** May 20, 2026

**Product Description:** [Rocket.Chat](http://Rocket.Chat) is a customizable open source communications platform for organizations with high standards of data protection. It enables real-time conversations between colleagues, with other companies, or with your customers, across devices on the web, desktop, or mobile.

**Website:** [Accessibility Statement](https://docs.rocket.chat/docs/accessibility-statement)

**Applicable Standards/Guidelines**

This report covers the degree of conformance with the following accessibility standards/guidelines:

| Standard/Guideline | Included in report |
| --- | --- |
| [Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0](https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/) | Level A: Yes Level AA: Yes Level AAA: No |
| [Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1](https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/) | Level A: Yes Level AA: Yes Level AAA: No |

**Terms**

The terms used in the Conformance Level information are defined as follows:

- Supports: The functionality of the product has at least one method that meets the criterion without known defects or meets with equivalent facilitation.
- Partially Supports: Some functionality of the product does not meet the criterion.
- Does Not Support: The majority of product functionality does not meet the criterion.
- Not Applicable: The criterion is not relevant to the product.
- Not Evaluated: The product has not been evaluated against the criterion. This can only be used in WCAG 2.0 Level AAA.

> [!NOTE]
> For criteria marked “Supports,” substantial conformance with the criterion by the product or service has been determined through the Evaluation Testing, which includes a mix of external audit—conducted by an expert in the field—and self-assessment by the [Rocket.Chat](http://Rocket.Chat) team.

> [!NOTE]
> In the tables below, for all criteria marked “Not Applicable,” the specific feature covered by that criterion is not part of the product. For example: If keyboard navigation is not the main form of navigation in the mobile platform and by design the content is optimized for easier vertical scrolling, then WCAG criterion 2.4.1 Bypass Blocks, will be marked “Not Applicable."

In mobile app design, interfaces are streamlined to fit smaller displays and minimize the repetition of elements like navigation bars or footers, which would require a "bypass" feature on desktop web environments. The app’s structure and layout are designed to be mobile-first, where the content flow and navigation are more straightforward |
