[iOS Safari] Fullscreen API on a non-video element

webkitEnterFullScreen API is supported on iOS for video element, but not for a div element. Also as a fullscreen demo website shown, Safari on macOS supports div element but not on iOS.

Is there any plan to add the support in iOS? If not is there any way to fullscreen a div element or make it run as fullscreen on Safari iOS?

Apple is really SHABI

October 2024. It's really SHOCKING that Fullscreen API support is still missing on iPhone at this point. It's a standard, and a web app requirement and it reflects incredibly badly on Apple. I urge you to prioritise this in your roadmap much more highly than it currently is.

Obviously we won't get it... So frustrating.

Congratulations apple staff! You made me enter the first comment on the developer forums.

It's 2025 now and requestFullscreen is still not supported on iOs on iPhone: https://caniuse.com/?search=requestfullscreen

This is annoying and ridiculous! This is a reason to move back to android, so you should be interested in providing the API!

Protect your market!

Another year, another WWDC, another Safari feature release, and still no movement on this standard required by web app developers like everyone here. I don't think anyone at Apple knows how important this is to us all. Clearly it's at the bottom of the roadmap, if even there at all anymore. Really really depressing and enraging.

Hey there @Apple Staff, the many unnecessary insults here are really embarrassing. However, the underlying frustration seems to be a symptom of the desire to have this feature working on iOS. The lack of it feels like a bug due to the comparison with Android. So, how were the testing results for 17.2? When is this going to be rolled out?
