Troubleshooting iOS Navigation

Navigation Buttons Disappeared? On iPhone, tapping into a text box can sometimes "shove" the top navigation bar off the screen. This is a known iOS behavior where the browser over-compensates to make room for the keyboard.

Restoring the Navigation Bar

Top Tip (the only way that works) If the buttons remain stuck, turn your phone sideways (Landscape) and then back to upright (Portrait). This forces the browser to recalculate the screen dimensions and is the most reliable "hard reset" for the UI.
Note: This issue is specific to Apple and is to do with the underlying way Apple products render pages.
