Viewport behavior in Safari 26 is utterly broken. 🙄😭 Time to get Viewports into #Interop2026 because viewports on iOS have gotten only worse since I did the initial research in, *checks notes*, 2022 — github.com/web-platform...

No, it's a bug. The problem shown in the screenshots is that the entire viewport shifts up. This bug gets triggered after you've focused an input. Safe area insets help when you've got `viewport-fit=cover` set … but Safari on iOS (in portrait mode) refuses to do so :-/

The latter could be a design choice, but I think it's a step back because it prevents you from having a backdrop that actually spans edge-to-edge. See attached screenshots: the blurred backdrop does not go behind the top and bottom bars. This is something native apps are allowed to do.
