How can I fix the issue of a container disappearing from my Webflow website only on iPhones in Safari and Google Chrome?

If a container is disappearing only on iPhones using Safari or Chrome, it's likely due to mobile-specific styling issues, overflow settings, or Safari rendering quirks. Here's how to troubleshoot and fix this in Webflow:

1. Check Visibility Settings for Mobile Devices

• Go to the Navigator and select the container that’s disappearing.
• In the Style panel, check the Display property when in mobile breakpoints (Tablet, Mobile Landscape, and Mobile Portrait).
• Make sure it’s not set to Display: None on these breakpoints.

2. Inspect Overflow and Position Settings

• A container with overflow: hidden or position: absolute without a defined height/width or parent constraints can vanish on mobile.
• Ensure the container or its parent has:
• A defined height or content inside to force height
• Overflow: visible if child elements extend beyond it
• On iPhones, especially Safari, improper use of position: fixed or absolute can behave differently than on desktop.

3. Remove or Adjust Transforms and Interactions

• Go to the Interactions panel and disable all page or scroll-based interactions affecting the vanishing container.
• Check if opacity: 0 or display: none is being set via animations or triggers on smaller breakpoints.
• In the Styles panel, remove any custom Transform settings (e.g., translateX(-100%)) that might push the container off-screen.

4. Check Z-Index

• The container may be behind other elements on smaller viewports.
• Give the container a higher z-index (e.g., z-index: 10) to test whether it’s being layered correctly.
• Also ensure no parent or sibling elements are using z-index to unintentionally hide the container.

5. Test Safe Widths and Heights

• Safari on iPhones doesn't always handle 100vw/100vh as expected.
• Instead of 100vh, try using 100% height with constraints based on a parent.
• Avoid using exact pixel widths that exceed device resolutions (e.g., fixed widths over 375px).

6. Review Custom Code or Embed HTML

• If using any custom code or third-party embeds, disable them temporarily to rule out conflicts.
• Badly formatted code or missing viewport meta tags can cause mobile layout issues.

7. Preview on Devices via Webflow and Real iPhones

• Use Webflow’s preview in mobile mode, but also test on actual iPhone devices using Safari and Chrome to confirm behavior.
• Use browser developer tools (like Safari’s DevTools) to emulate iPhone conditions more accurately.

Summary

To fix a disappearing container on iPhones in Safari or Chrome, check for hidden display settings, problematic overflow or positioning, mobile-specific interactions, and z-index layer conflicts. Always test across actual devices to confirm the fix.
