There are a few reasons why your custom checked states for radio buttons and checkboxes with SVG images might work on desktop and Firefox, but not on an actual mobile device using Chrome. Here are a few possible explanations:

  1. SVG Compatibility: Not all mobile devices and browsers have full support for SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics). This means that certain features, including custom checked states for radio buttons and checkboxes using SVG images, may not render as expected on these devices. It's important to check the compatibility of SVG features on different mobile devices and browsers before implementing them.

  2. Browser Version: The version of Chrome on your mobile device may not fully support the custom checked states for radio buttons and checkboxes with SVG images. Make sure that you are using the latest version of Chrome on your mobile device, as newer versions often come with improved SVG support and bug fixes.

  3. Caching Issues: Sometimes, mobile devices can cache outdated versions of your website or certain assets. This can cause discrepancies between what you see on desktop and what is displayed on your mobile device. To resolve this issue, try clearing the cache on your mobile device or using Chrome's "Incognito" mode to bypass any cached versions of your website.

  4. Code or Implementation Errors: It's possible that there may be errors in your code or implementation that are causing the custom checked states to not work as expected on mobile devices with Chrome. Double-check your code for any syntax errors or missing elements that could be affecting the rendering of the SVG images on mobile devices.

To troubleshoot and resolve the issue, consider taking the following steps:

  • Test your website on different mobile devices and browsers to see if the issue is device-specific or related to a specific browser.
  • Check the compatibility of SVG features and CSS properties used in your custom checked states on various mobile devices and browsers.
  • Make sure you are using the latest version of Chrome on your mobile device.
  • Clear the cache on your mobile device or use Chrome's "Incognito" mode to rule out caching issues.
  • Review your code and implementation to ensure there are no syntax errors or missing elements.

By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the issue causing the custom checked states for radio buttons and checkboxes with SVG images to not work on mobile devices using Chrome.
