Hello,

when I’m in the glide app under any view (mobile or tablet) and I move cursor over the pin then I can successfully see the description details.

However, when I try to do the same thing on my physical iphone (SE and 14) , no text bubble window appears.

I know I am probably missing something obvious.

Any help/assistance would be great.

Rick

If I have to make a guess, desktop devices support a hover state, so you can see something if Glide allows it to happen on a hover state.

On mobiles, there’s no equivalent of a hover state. That state triggered when a user interacts with an element using a pointing device, like a mouse cursor, without clicking it. Since you cannot “hover” a finger over a touchscreen without touching it, this functionality does not directly translate to mobile devices.
