To achieve the effect of having sections snap while scrolling and always showing fullscreen, even on mobile devices in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Set up your sections: Start by creating the sections that you want to have fullscreen and snap while scrolling. Each section should contain the content that you want to display.

  2. Define the height of each section: To ensure that each section takes up the full screen height, you'll need to adjust the height settings. Select each section, go to the Style panel, and under Sizing, set the height to 100vh (viewport height). This will make each section fill the entire height of the screen.

  3. Enable smooth scrolling: By default, Webflow uses smooth scrolling, which allows the sections to snap as you scroll. However, it's important to check that smooth scrolling is enabled in your project settings. To do this, go to the Site Settings tab, select the "Smooth Scroll" checkbox under the Behavior section, and click Save.

  4. Adjust scroll settings: Webflow provides scroll settings that allow you to control the scrolling behavior of each section. To access these settings, select a section, go to the Interactions panel, and click on the scroll trigger. In the scroll settings, you can adjust the easing, duration, and offset to fine-tune the scrolling effect. Experiment with these settings to achieve the desired snap effect.

  5. Test on mobile devices: After setting up the sections and scroll settings, it's important to test how they perform on mobile devices. To do this, use Webflow's built-in device preview tools or publish your site and view it on different mobile devices. Ensure that the sections snap correctly and display fullscreen without any issues.

By following these steps, you can create a scrolling effect in Webflow where sections snap while scrolling and always show fullscreen, even on mobile devices.
