uiaccessibility - CSS focus outline on mobile devices, still necessary for accessibility? -

without traditional keyboard on mobile devices css outline focus still necessary? understand importance on desktops not sure if outline focus state useful on mobiles. unable find research on that. give thanks you

the reply yes, both official , practical perspective.

people may utilize external inputs (i.e. switches, keyboards, keypads) mobile devices, visually indicating focus still necessary.

visible focus helps users track in content. includes hover , focus states mouse , keyboard touch states. ... means sighted keyboard or keypad users can track progress navigate focusable elements on page mouse users can, , touch users receive confirmation going happen. 2

the guideline stated in wcag 2.0 1 (which applies web content), unofficial mobile guidelines bbc2 , ssb bart group3.

notes: safari on ios , chrome on android both indicate input focus without css outline (with blinking cursor), it's subtle. also, switch controls on ios 7+ , ios voiceover add together focus indicators on elements automatically, these platform specific concerns.
