Does the 'required' input field function differently on mobile (iphone 6) compared to desktop in Webflow?

The 'required' input field in Webflow behaves the same way on both mobile and desktop devices. When you apply the 'required' attribute to an input field, it makes that field mandatory to fill out before the form can be submitted. This functionality is supported by all modern browsers and is not specific to Webflow.

On both mobile (iPhone 6) and desktop, if a user tries to submit a form without completing a required field, they will receive an error message indicating that the field is required. Webflow does not have any built-in functionality to differentiate between mobile and desktop devices when it comes to the behavior of required input fields.

It's important to note that while Webflow provides the ability to add the 'required' attribute to form fields, it is ultimately the browser that enforces this requirement. Some older browsers may not support the 'required' attribute, so it's always a good idea to include client-side and server-side validation to ensure form submissions are complete.

To summarize, the 'required' input field functions the same way on both mobile (iPhone 6) and desktop in Webflow. It makes a field mandatory to fill out before the form can be submitted, but its behavior is determined by the browser being used.
