Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology 'Internet Application Ageing and Barrier-free Transformation Special Action' announced the first batch of APPS that passed the aging and accessibility level evaluation. With the practice and continuous optimization of products and services suitable for aging, Douyin and Douyin Volcano Edition were the first to pass the evaluation.
It is understood that in December 2020, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the "Special Action Plan for Ageing and Barrier-free Transformation of Internet Applications", organizing a one-year special action on ageing and barrier-free transformation of Internet applications nationwide, focusing on solving the difficulties encountered by special groups such as the elderly and the disabled in using intelligent technologies such as the Internet, and promoting the construction of an information society that fully takes into account the needs of the elderly and the disabled.
In May 2021, Douyin launched the "Elder Mode" to optimize the product, including page font size, contrast and touch area, etc., to solve the problems of the elderly who cannot see clearly and are not easy to use. "Elder Mode" adapts to the main usage scenarios, pages and pop-up windows of Douyin, and users can open it in "I-Settings-Elders Mode".
