Failed WCAG checkpoints

WCAG 2.4.6 Headings and Labels
https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG22/Understanding/headings-and-labels

User impact:

Descriptive headings are necessary for users who have disabilities that make reading slow and for people with limited short-term memory. These users benefit when section titles make it possible to predict what each section contains. Form input controls with labels that clearly describe the content that is expected to be entered helps users know how to successfully complete the form.

Suggested resolution:

Use the accessibilityLabel to announce all displayed details. e.g.:

• 'User Profile for [Full Name]. Email: [Email Address]'

Environment:

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra - Android 14, Partner - Native (No mobile browser)
Apple iPhone 11 - iOS 17.5.1, H0T Mobile - Native (No mobile browser)
