Summary

Currently, there is only support for one type of 'header' announcement within narrator, as the accessibilityLabel prop only takes one type of 'header' property. Because of this, we are announing 'heading, level 2' for any Text component that has accessibilityLabel = 'header'. Ideally, we will have a different heading announcement in Narrator for different types of headings e.g the title of a page would have a different announcement than the sub-headings of sections on the same page.

Motivation

There is currently an issue on Gallery where different header announcements are needed for different types of headings. In the below example, 'Button' would be a different heading announcement from 'A simple button' or 'A colored button'.

Currently all headings have the same announcement - 'heading, level 2'.

One option would be to add a windows-specific accessibilityLevel: number prop that would allow for customizing the value. This would be aligned with: https://github.com/react-native-community/discussions-and-proposals/blob/fd64774e8161973b87b8f0a27587fa039eb7b43b/proposals/0000-accessibility-apis.md
