This research proposes new success criteria for the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) focusing on improving Mobile accessibility. The execution of a quick evaluation of the current regulation for digital accessibility led us to use WCAG as the main reference frame for the research since they are the baseline for the European and American Standards. WCAG tries to keep the proposed guidelines device- independent. However, the analysis of the specific characteristics of mobile devices presents new opportunities for the improvement of digital accessibility. This study includes also the exploration of the accessibility recommendations provided by the main mobile Operating Systems.
