Ensuring interactive elements are large enough to tap reliably with a finger — roughly 44x44px minimum is a common guideline, since fingers are far less precise than a mouse cursor.

• 1Audit a design's smallest tap targets against the 44x44px minimum guideline.
• 2Learn why insufficient touch target size disproportionately hurts accessibility for motor-impaired users.
• 3Practice designing a compact but still accessible list item with an adequately-sized tap area.
