The hamburger icon not opening on tablet and mobile devices in Webflow can be caused by several different factors. Here are some possible reasons and corresponding solutions:

Missing or incorrect interactions: The hamburger icon typically triggers a menu to open or close through interactions. Ensure that you have set up the interactions correctly and assigned them to the hamburger icon. Double-check the settings, such as the trigger type (e.g., click or tap) and target element.
Hidden or misplaced menu: It is possible that the menu is hidden or not positioned correctly, preventing it from appearing when the hamburger icon is clicked. Make sure the menu element has the appropriate display settings, such as "none" when it should be hidden and "block" or "flex" when it should be visible. Also, check the position and z-index of the menu to ensure it is placed correctly on the page.
Conflicting CSS or JavaScript: If you have custom code or third-party integrations on your website, they may be interfering with the hamburger icon functionality. Review the code to identify any conflicts and try removing or adjusting them to see if it resolves the issue.
Viewport settings: Webflow relies on viewport settings to determine how the website should be displayed on different devices. Ensure that your viewport settings are properly configured for tablets and mobile devices. For example, check that the meta tag for viewport is present in the head section of your HTML.
Responsive breakpoints: Webflow allows you to define different layouts (breakpoints) for different screen sizes. Verify that you have set up the appropriate breakpoint for tablet and mobile devices and that it includes the correct menu and interactions.

Remember to test your website on multiple tablet and mobile devices to ensure the hamburger icon opens consistently across different devices and screen sizes.
