To fix the issue with iOS v16+ users not being able to click on the form fields on your Webflow site, you can follow these steps:

  1. Check the iOS version: First, ensure that the users experiencing the issue are using iOS version 16 or higher. You can ask them to confirm their iOS version or use analytics tools to gather this information.

  2. Upgrade Webflow: Make sure you are using the latest version of Webflow. Webflow regularly releases updates that include bug fixes and compatibility improvements. Check the Webflow changelog to see if any recent updates address this specific issue.

  3. Review custom code: If you have added any custom code to your site, review it carefully. Sometimes, custom code conflicts with certain browser versions or devices, causing issues like the one you are experiencing. Check for any code related to form fields, events, or focus that may affect the behavior on iOS devices.

  4. Ensure correct form element setup: Verify that your form elements are set up correctly in Webflow. Ensure that each form field has a proper label and associated input element. Check that the input element is not disabled, and there are no custom CSS rules or interactions preventing interaction with the form.

  5. Check for conflicting CSS: Certain CSS properties or rules can interfere with the behavior of form fields on iOS devices. Check for any conflicting CSS that may be applied to your form fields or their parent elements. Use the browser's developer tools or the Designer panel in Webflow to inspect and modify CSS styles.

  6. Check for conflicting interactions: If you have added interactions to your form or any surrounding elements, they might be conflicting with the iOS behavior. Review the interactions settings and test the form behavior with interactions disabled to determine if they are causing the issue.

  7. Test on different iOS devices: To further narrow down the issue, test your form on various iOS devices running different versions of iOS. This will help you identify if the issue is specific to certain devices or iOS versions.

  8. Contact Webflow Support: If you have exhausted all the above steps and the issue still persists, reach out to Webflow Support for further assistance. Provide them with detailed information about your site, the specific iOS version and device experiencing the issue, and any relevant custom code or interactions you have implemented.

By following these steps and troubleshooting the possible causes, you should be able to fix the issue with iOS v16+ users not being able to click on the form fields on your Webflow site.
