A user reported that their mobile site suddenly stopped displaying correctly this morning, appearing as a zoomed-in desktop version rather than a mobile-optimized layout.
Key Details:
The site was functioning properly since Monday with no recent changes made (no code edits, app installs, or updates)
Only action taken was uploading an image to the homepage slideshow
Developer has been contacted but hasn’t responded yet
Troubleshooting Response:
Another user confirmed the site displays correctly on Android and mobile emulators, suggesting this may be an iPhone-specific issue. They recommended:
Verifying ‘Desktop Mode’ isn’t enabled in the mobile browser
Checking browser settings, as desktop mode would cause exactly the described zoomed-in appearance
Current Status: Issue remains unresolved; awaiting theme developer response and further device-specific testing.

This morning I went to upload an image to our homepage slideshow and realized our mobile site display was not correct - it looks like our desktop display just zoomed in and not optimized for Mobile.
We have made zero changes to the website in the past 24 hours aside from publishing new product, no app installs, or code changes and can’t figure out what is causing this. The site was displaying perfectly since Monday and has just started displaying wrong this morning.
We have reached out to the developer of the theme but have not heard back.
Just letting you know that it’s working and looks good on both Android and my mobile emulator. If the issue is still persisting, it might be an iPhone-specific problem. (This could be helpful for other developers reading this, but unfortunately, I don’t have an iPhone for further testing!)
Additionally, one thing to double-check: ensure you’re not viewing the page in ‘Desktop Mode’ on your phone, as this could cause the exact result you described (a zoomed-out desktop page).
Make sure this isn’t ticked in your mobile browser:
