IPhone : autofocus issue

Ask us anything How do I?

Hello,

Some of my users reported an annoying behaviour with Iphones. Whenever they are on a form and want to input some data, they tell me that there is an automated zoom on the field. If there is one field it’s OK, but there are dozens.

I’ve made some research and "the font-size of an <input> is 16px or larger, Safari /Chrome on iOS will focus into the input normally. But as soon as the font-size is 15px or less, the viewport will zoom into that input."

I can’t increase my front size from 13px to 16px so here’s my question : how to stop that iPhone behaviour? :sweat_smile:

Thanks

Would anyone know? It’s a real pain in the bottom. And that’s never pleasant. :grin:

I also ran into this “bug” and fixed it by doing the same research and setting the font-size to 16px or larger.

IIRC it is an accessibility feature built into iOS and there is nothing that can be done to disable it.

You’ve just made me really sad :sweat_smile:

@Joyce : I try my best luck haha. Would you have any idea? 70% of my users connect from Iphones and reviewing the entire mobile UI will be complicated in the upcoming weeks.

Thanks
