How can I solve the issue of an element disappearing on iOS devices in Webflow?

If you are experiencing the issue of an element disappearing on iOS devices in Webflow, there are a few potential solutions you can try:

  1. Check for conflicting styles: First, make sure that there are no conflicting styles applied to the element or any of its parent elements. Conflicting styles can cause unexpected behavior, including elements disappearing. Double-check the class styles applied to the element and ensure they are not conflicting with other styles.

  2. Consider overflow property: Check the overflow property of the element and its parent elements. If the element has a overflow: hidden property or if any of its parent elements have a overflow property that is set to "hidden", this can cause the element to disappear on iOS devices. Try removing or adjusting the overflow property to see if this resolves the issue.

  3. Review the z-index: Another possible reason for an element to disappear on iOS devices is if it is being overlapped by other elements with a higher z-index value. Ensure that the element has a higher z-index value than any overlapping elements to make sure it appears correctly on iOS devices.

  4. Test in Safari browser: iOS devices use the Safari browser, so it's important to test your website on Safari to identify any iOS-specific issues. Install Safari browser on your computer or use a service like BrowserStack to access different versions of Safari for testing. This will help you replicate and diagnose the issue more accurately.

  5. Check for browser-specific CSS rules: Some CSS properties and rules may behave differently across different devices and browsers, including iOS devices. Double-check your CSS and remove any browser-specific rules that could be interfering with the element's visibility.

  6. Update Webflow and iOS versions: Make sure you have the latest version of both Webflow and iOS installed. Updates often include bug fixes and improvements that can solve issues like elements disappearing on iOS devices.

Remember to test your changes on multiple iOS devices to ensure the issue is resolved across different screen sizes and versions of iOS.
