iPhone fullscreen swipe

Tuur · May 25, 2023 at 11:24 AM

Hi,

I was wondering if we could take out the viewport-fit=cover from the html and make the iPhone fullscreen swipe work.
I didn't manage..

I am trying now with safearea inset.. but it is too much hassle I think..

Hi Tuur,

what´s the problem with the iphone-swipe? It´s working fine for me on iPhone 11 & 14 (iOS16.4.1).

Hi,

I made an interface that uses area-border and some changes and behaviour when you switch to landscape.
When i take out the viewport- fit cover from the html the interface behaves and looks as i wanted but without that viewport thing the iphone swipe doesn't work. Not sure why.. i tested and it also happens with a bare bone set up without any area stuff.
I now have changed partially the behaviour etc.. and used the safearea inset stuff but i was not able, quick enough, to make it work exactly as i had planned. It works good though.
Not really very important.. but a thing to keep in mind.
I might need to have a better, more intense, look/study on the safearea thing.

.. yes i know the new iphone fullscreen in landscape behaviour but this only works when you have one tab,url bar at top.. and not when tab bar , url bar at bottom (in portrait).
Also the swipe up seems to randomly show or not show, even when landscape fullscreen (one tab top)

Bit confusing..

I'll make my self more clear.

if I have in the settings this:

..the iPhone fullscreen when going in landscape works fine. I also had some issue the swipe still showing in some cases but can't get it back in the bare bone.

when I have this

going to landscape the fullscreen doesn't work, and the swipe shows.

when I take the viewport-fit=cover out of the html, the swipe up doesn't show.

Could it be possible to:
1. make the iPhone fullscreen swipe work without viewport-fit=cover or perhaps with another setting?
2. make the iPhone also go fullscreen when you have the tab-bar selected in the settings instead of the one tab?

I can confirm the problem on iphone 11 & iPhone 14. I tried to work around the problem with onresize-event and stagewidth GT stageheight, which will show the swipe-info, but the actual swipe still does´nt work

Hi,

currently the iphone fullscreen 'mode' is only supported when actually using the 'full-screen'
That means when using viewport-fit=cover.

I don't know yet if that might be also possible without that, but I will check...

Technically, this iphone full screen hack is pretty tricky and changes depending on the iOS version and also differs whether the Safari tabs are at the top or bottom (and there are also some special implementations for other iOS browsers). It's necessary to explicitly detect the current state somehow and then 'allow' temporary scrolling the whole page (but only as long until reaching the 'full-screen' state).

That means that support is a special case and probably can't manually simulated in a easy/simple way.

Best regards,
Klaus

Unfortunately, there's no official way to completely unlock the iPhone without swiping up, even after Face ID recognizes you. Apple designed the swipe-up gesture as a security feature, giving users a moment to check notifications or ensure they actually want to enter the home screen before unlocking. But while you can't skip the swipe entirely, there are a few things that can streamline the process and make it feel less like a hassle.

For example, you can use the "Raise to Wake" feature (in Settings > Display & Brightness) so your phone wakes up when you lift it, and then Face ID kicks in. This makes the whole process smoother because you don’t have to press any buttons; you just lift the phone, it recognizes you, and all that's left is a quick swipe.

There's also "Tap to Wake" (under Settings > Accessibility > Touch), which lets you tap your screen instead of using the side button to wake the phone. It’s not quite the same as skipping the swipe, but these features together can make unlocking your phone feel quicker.

So, while the swipe-up gesture itself can’t be fully bypassed, using a combination of these features makes the process feel almost automatic. Maybe Apple will introduce more options in future updates, but for now, this is as close as you can get!

If you have problem persist after trying these solution, you can follow for more sufficient assistance below.
