The save button is concealed when trying to edit a post: [image] iOS10, iPhone 7, Safari Think it’s been like this for a while and I work around by hitting “Done” on the keyboard then clicking the button. I worry that new users may not know to do this.

I’ll take a crack at this, removing 10% of height for the editor on iOS. https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/c191e2e84c3c52f886e772f8b2a4c7efaaa690d1 I believe it is impossible to get the actual viewport size because the browser does not communicate the size of any of the on-screen phone…
