If you're experiencing z-depth issues specifically in Safari on mobile for your Webflow site, there are a few troubleshooting steps you can follow to address the problem:

  1. Check for CSS compatibility: Start by examining the CSS properties you're using for z-depth, such as z-index or box-shadow. Ensure that these properties are fully supported by Safari on mobile devices. Consider checking the Can I use website to confirm compatibility.

  2. Test on multiple devices: Verify if the z-depth issues occur consistently across various Safari versions and mobile devices. This will help you identify whether the problem is specific to a particular version of Safari or device.

  3. Inspect the element: Utilize the developer tools in Safari or tools like BrowserStack to inspect the specific element causing the z-depth issue. Look for any conflicting CSS rules or properties that may be overriding the desired z-depth behavior.

  4. Review your Webflow project: Double-check your Webflow project settings to ensure there are no conflicting interactions, styles, or settings that could be affecting the z-depth on mobile Safari. Pay close attention to any interactions or animations that may be altering the z-index or box shadows.

  5. Reset z-depth properties: Try resetting the z-depth properties for the affected elements to their default state and then gradually reintroduce custom styling until the issue resurfaces. This approach can help pinpoint the specific CSS rule or code that is causing the problem.

  6. Test in a clean Webflow project: Create a new, minimal Webflow project and test the z-depth on Safari mobile devices. If the issue persists, it may indicate a broader compatibility problem with Safari or an issue with Webflow. In this case, you can reach out to Webflow support for further assistance.

  7. Consider alternative approaches: If the z-depth issue persists despite following the above steps, you might need to explore alternative methods to achieve the desired visual effect. Try using a different CSS library or plugin specifically designed for mobile devices, or consider a workaround that achieves a similar visual effect without relying heavily on z-depth.

Remember to test any changes thoroughly on various Safari mobile devices to ensure compatibility and consistent results. It's also a good practice to keep your Safari browser on mobile devices updated to the latest version for optimal performance.
