When using the PWA (progressive web app), and the text size is set to smaller, the reply button is not visible. When using Safari it just works fine. But when you open the PWA in iOS, the reply button disappears. I’m using the Foundation theme.
Using iOS 26.4.2 on iPhone SE 2022

Can someone replicate this and fix this issue/bug?

Are you able to hide/close the keyboard?

No, that’s not possible for me.
Other users on my forum reported the same issue on other iOS devices.

Settings - Accessibility - Voice Control - Turn Voice Control on - say “Hide keyboard”

Yes – however, this is not a solution for all iOS users of my forum. I hope that the bug can be fixed so that the composer behaves the same in iOS Safari as on iOS Progressive Web Apps.

Please try rebuilding the app container on your server to pick up the latest changes. The composer should now resize correctly after the update.

I created [another topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/safari-pwa-zooming-is-buggy/407806) without realizing I’d effectively duplicated an existing one. @appeltaartje does this problem persist for you?

This was an issue that recently reappeared on our hosted system, it occurs when zooming in the mobile composer. A fix was produced and pushed to our site which resolved the issue.

Right now this problem persists for months. I don’t know how to update or rebuild the app container by myself because I’m using managed hosting at Communiteq.
I did ask their support for help. They updated the instance to the latest version but it seems that it did not help.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
Did you already find a solution, @blalor?

I just saw there was a _second_ fix which has not been backported to stable.
@chapoi would that be possible? Especially since the next ESR is more than 5 months away.

I don’t know anything about backporting – that’s @david’s domain so I’ll let him answer
