Detecting a pre-defined accessibility pattern to modify the user interface of a mobile device

Disclosed herein are various embodiments for detecting predefined accessibility patterns for modifying a user interface of a mobile device. In an embodiment, a plurality of pre-defined accessibility patterns each of which correspond to one or more user interactions by a user with the mobile device are determined. Sensor data corresponding a set of one or more of the user interactions is received receiving, from one or more sensors of the mobile device, and a first pre-defined accessibility pattern that corresponds to the set of one or more of the user interactions received form the one or more sensors is identified. A modification to the user interface of the application based on the first pre-defined accessibility pattern is determined, wherein the modification to the user interface is configured to ease a difficulty associated with the first pre-defined accessibility pattern. The user interface is modified accordance with the modification.
