User Story

As a user
I want to open the Settings screen by tapping the hamburger menu from any tab in the app
So that So that I can always reach my preferences and account controls regardless of where I am in the app

Acceptance Criteria

  • Given I am on any tab of the app, when I tap the hamburger menu icon, then the Settings screen opens without navigating away from my current tab state
  • Given the Settings screen is open, when I view the screen, then settings are grouped into logical card sections (notifications, accessibility, language, account management)
  • Given the Settings screen is open, when I interact with any tappable element, then the touch target is at least 48×48dp in all cases
  • Given I am a user of any role, when the Settings screen loads, then only the settings sections applicable to my organization's feature flags are displayed
  • Given the Settings screen is open, when I navigate back, then I return to the tab I was on before opening settings

Business Value

A consistently accessible settings entry point is a foundational usability requirement. Peer mentors with visual or cognitive impairments need reliable, always-available access to adjust accessibility options without hunting for a settings screen. Reducing friction in finding account controls also lowers support burden across all three organizations.
