IgxIcon text is always announced by Assistive technologies #16008
Description
Description
Related to #15962
IgxIcon text is always announced by Assistive technologies. It is not always meaningful, and even when it is, it might add a redundancy.
It might be better to add the aria-hidden=true to the Icon component by default and leave the option to set it to false, if needed.
Alternatively, we might need to add the aria-hidden attribute to many instances of the icon accross the library.
- igniteui-angular version: any
- browser: any
Steps to reproduce
- Read various focusable elements from the library containing icons with a screen reader.
