No I wasn't suggesting it was the solution. Just a bare minimum. 0% of their users are born today. 100% are likely born with 30 years of 1980
Yes I agree, that ideally the users would find it more obvious how to use the date picker properly and not just tap the left and right arrow to navigate
However in the screenshot I posted, I don't think any of the solutions have made this functionality very obvious. Except maybe Firefox lol. But Chrome's implementation on mobile seems even worse than Safari's!
Not the parent but the answer is don't use the date picker at all for date of birth. The gov.uk site, which is generally held up as an example of best practice design and accessibility because they do over the shoulder testing on real devices with real users from different backgrounds advises to just use three text field with the number property.
