mobile responsiveness on actual phone is messed up, but in browser "mobile view" it looks okay
my website is using nuxt + nuxt UI / pro
this is the page screenshot from my iphone (screenshot 1)
this is the page screenshot from browser (screenshot 2)
issues:
1. is there something i am forgetting to add to my nuxt config or my page level code that is causing this problem? and how to i fix / test for it?
2. why would there be a difference in the page on the actual phone vs. in the browser dev tools?

Hi @devin schumacher. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources, I can offer some insights into your issue with mobile responsiveness in Nuxt and Nuxt UI Pro. However, please note that without seeing the actual screenshots or your specific code, my answer will be somewhat general.
1. Regarding configuration or page-level code:
There's no specific configuration in Nuxt or Nuxt UI Pro that you're likely forgetting. However, the issue might be related to font rendering or styling. As mentioned in one of the knowledge sources, a user encountered a similar problem which was resolved by changing the font:
Stack Overflow Post states:
"finally i found the problem from the font type that i use, which is Tajwal, when i change it to other font, every thing work well."
To test and fix this:
- Try changing your font to a web-safe font temporarily.
- Ensure your CSS is properly applying to mobile devices, especially any custom styles you've added.
- Use the
viewport meta tag in your <head> to ensure proper scaling on mobile devices.
2. Regarding the difference between the actual phone and browser dev tools:
The discrepancy between your phone and browser dev tools could be due to several factors:
- Browser dev tools don't always perfectly emulate real mobile devices. They might not account for specific device quirks or rendering differences.
- Your phone might have different default settings (like font size or zoom level) that affect the rendering.
- There could be caching issues on your phone that aren't present in the dev tools.
To address these issues:
- Use real device testing whenever possible, as you're doing now.
- Clear your phone's browser cache and try loading the page again.
- Ensure you're using responsive design practices, like fluid layouts and flexible images.
- Consider using Nuxt's built-in responsive components. For example, the LandingHero component from Nuxt UI Pro is designed to be responsive out of the box.
If the issue persists, you might want to use browser developer tools on your actual phone to inspect the rendered HTML and CSS. This can help identify any specific styling issues that are occurring on the device.
Remember, mobile responsiveness can be tricky and often requires iterative testing and adjustments. If you continue to face issues, consider sharing your specific code or more detailed screenshots in the Nuxt community forums for more targeted assistance.

Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:
----------------------<@398675269130649601> Kapa.ai is still learning and improving, please let me know how I did by reacting below.
Ensure you have the correct viewport meta tag in your <head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
JavaScript errors can prevent parts of your page from rendering correctly. Browsers aggressively cache resources.
@Mittchel is this not something that nuxt takes care of automatically??
it's default value, but may be you change it https://nuxt.com/docs/api/nuxt-config#head
So it should already be there then
