Hello,

Any update on this?

It's very hard (if possible at all) to control whether the Keyboard hides the bottom contents of the screen, which is different from the behavior of the other browsers on Android.

Chrome v108 allows to control this via viewport meta - https://developer.chrome.com/blog/viewport-resize-behavior/

which gives more flexibility to devs.

Would be nice to see Safari implementing any kind of flexibility, as at the moment we have none.

Thanks
