Atelier theme - mobile showing as desktop on older iOS browsers

Topic summary

Users report that the Atelier Shopify theme displays desktop styles instead of mobile styles on slightly outdated iOS browsers (only a few updates behind current versions). All other websites render correctly on these same devices.

Current Status:

  • Issue resolves when iOS/browser is updated
  • Users seek a theme update to ensure compatibility for customers not on the latest versions

Response:
A community member noted that older browsers may lack full support for modern web standards, CSS properties, and JavaScript used in the theme.

Concern:
The original poster emphasizes that customers only one or two updates behind shouldn’t experience broken functionality, suggesting reasonable workarounds should exist for recent (though not latest) browser versions. The discussion remains open with no concrete solution provided.

We have found an issue with Atelier showing desktop instead of mobile styles on mobile on older iOS browsers (only a few updates behind the current) all other websites look fine. The issue is solved with updating iOS / browser but we want to make sure the theme is viewable for our customers who may not be on the newest browser / iOS update. We are really hoping for an update to Atelier that will fix this!

Hello, @Scizzorface

Older iOS browsers (and browsers in general) can have varying levels of support for modern web standards, CSS properties, and JavaScript. While a theme might look perfect on the newest iOS and Chrome, it might be using features that older versions don’t fully understand or implement the same way,

Thanks for your reply - It’s not ideal if someone only one or two updates behind can’t see the website.. it’s reasonable to think there would be some work arounds for more recent browser types to still see a working website, I can understand old browsers.
