Opening the virtual keyboard on iOS does not resize the browser window (unlike Android) and hence it blocks the view of a large part of the browser. It is possible to "scroll" the page when the keyboard is opened by swiping your finger on the toolbar when it is opened, but this is more of a side effect and was not intended. Note bug 6059.
Problem with Android's approach: bug 6014

This workaround does not work on Windows 10.
Tested Firefox and Chrome on Android 14, and Safari on iOS 18 against web access (4.17.0). The session was not resized in any of these cases.
Assigning to '---' for discussion. It seems the browsers have aligned and all behave the same now. If we have problems with the chosen approach, we should open other bugs for those issues. My suggestion is to close this as WONTFIX.
