Troubleshooting Issue with Interactions Not Triggering on iPad / Safari for Webflow Site

If you're facing an issue where interactions on your Webflow site aren't triggering specifically on iPad or Safari, there are several troubleshooting steps you can follow to resolve the problem.

  1. Check Compatibility: Make sure that the interactions you've implemented are supported and compatible with the version of Safari and iPad you're using. Webflow provides a list of supported browsers and devices, so ensure that your specific device and browser combination is included in that list.

  2. Update Safari: Ensure that you're using the latest version of Safari on your iPad. Newer versions often include bug fixes and improvements that may resolve compatibility issues related to interactions.

  3. Disable Content Blockers: Some content blocking extensions or features in Safari may interfere with the functionality of your Webflow interactions. Disable any content blocking extensions or features and check if the interactions start working correctly.

  4. Clear Cache and Cookies: Clearing the cache and cookies on your Safari browser can help resolve various issues, including problems with interactions. To do this, go to the Safari settings on your iPad, locate the "Clear History and Website Data" option, and follow the prompts to clear the cache and cookies.

  5. Review Interactions Setup: Double-check your interactions setup in Webflow to ensure that everything is configured correctly. Make sure that the interaction is triggered by the correct event, such as "On Page Load" or "On Click." Additionally, review the element settings and classes associated with the interaction to ensure they are accurate.

  6. Disable JavaScript Minification: If you have enabled JavaScript minification in your Webflow project settings, try disabling it temporarily to see if it resolves the issue. Minification can sometimes cause unpredictable behavior with interactions, so testing without it can help pinpoint the problem.

  7. Test on Different Devices: It's essential to test your site on multiple devices and browsers to identify whether the issue is specific to iPad/Safari or if it persists across other environments. Testing on different devices will help you narrow down the potential causes of the problem.

  8. Reach Out to Webflow Support: If the issue persists, despite following the above steps, it's recommended to contact Webflow support for further assistance. They have dedicated experts who can help diagnose and resolve specific issues related to interactions not triggering on iPad/Safari.

By following these troubleshooting steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the issue with interactions not triggering on your Webflow site specifically on iPad/Safari browsers.
