There could be several reasons why the phone number text is turning black on Safari for iPad and iPhone while the email address text is displayed correctly on Chrome in Webflow. Here are a few possible causes and solutions to address the issue:

  1. Browser-specific CSS styles: Safari and Chrome may have different default styles for certain HTML elements, including text color. Check if there are any browser-specific CSS styles applied to the phone number text or its parent element. If so, you can override these styles by using custom CSS code targeting Safari.

  2. CSS specificity: The phone number text might be impacted by conflicting CSS styles with higher specificity. Inspect the phone number text in Safari's developer tools and compare the CSS styles applied to it to the email address text in Chrome's developer tools. Look for any conflicting styles that might be causing the text color to change. Adjust the CSS specificity or remove conflicting styles to ensure consistent display across browsers.

  3. Typography settings: Webflow offers typography settings that allow you to define default font styles for different devices or browsers. Check if there are any specific typography settings applied to the phone number text that might be causing the color change in Safari. Ensure that the typography settings are consistent for both the phone number and email address texts.

  4. Custom code interactions: If you have added custom code to your Webflow project, it's possible that there might be some JavaScript or CSS code conflicts specifically affecting Safari. Review any custom code you have implemented and check for any interactions that might be causing the color change in Safari. You can use Safari's developer tools to debug the code and identify any conflicts.

  5. Browser compatibility issues: Sometimes, different browsers interpret CSS styles differently, causing discrepancies in the display. Ensure that you are using modern and widely supported CSS properties and syntax that are compatible across different browsers. You can also consider using CSS vendor prefixes to ensure broader compatibility with various browsers.

By investigating these potential causes, you should be able to identify and resolve the issue of the phone number text turning black on Safari for iPad and iPhone while the email address text is displayed correctly on Chrome in Webflow.
