Hi there,

I have troubles with the date picker, the [Glide material](https://docs.glideapps.com/all/reference/components/pickers/date?utm_source=builder&utm_medium=component_info_link&utm_campaign=BuilderDocLinks&utm_content=date) shows the possibility for the user to pick a date from a calendar when tapping an arrow menu. The picker actually does not show up for me.

Is it something I am missing?

Thank you in advance,

Hi Spleenr,

![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/f/f0175d3751b71f5c884c2acc005cbf1f60a5552d.png)

I have just tested the same component in my App. When I clicked the calendar, the options were demonstrated like the image above.

Can you try it again?

I also have this in my app when I use my android phone. iPhone users seem not to have it. I found a workaround and that is to click the **left** hand side of the date line and the calendar pops up. If you click the right hand side - where the calendar icon is - the line shows as ‘selected’ by changing colour but no calendar pops up. Unfortunately clicking in a specify spot is not very intuitive - so I had to make the date not mandatory on a form otherwise lack of ability to pick a date blocks people proceeding.

Hi, thank you for trying to help!  
However, it won’t work on android or iPhone, left or right in my case…
