+# [7.0.0](https://github.com/ionic-team/ionicons/compare/v6.1.3...v7.0.0) (2023-03-07)
+
+**Migration Note:** Developers should ensure that their `<ion-icon>` usages have either `aria-label` or `aria-hidden` to avoid accessibility issues. See https://ionic.io/ionicons/usage for more information.
+
+### Bug Fixes
+
+* **icon:** remove auto-generated aria-label ([#1170](https://github.com/ionic-team/ionicons/issues/1170)) ([98975ec](https://github.com/ionic-team/ionicons/commit/98975ec0f54b825c33f528683834a5e38298d598))
