What's the difference?
- ubercore 15y agoI haven't studied it too carefully so I'm working off impressions here, but I don't think Android zoomed-to-content the way iOS does. For instance, when loading Hacker News, the initial view would be very zoomed out, so I could just barely read headlines. If I double-tapped, it would zoom in enough for me to read normally. Another double-tap brought me back out to the page overview. It also, as I recall, would not retain zoom levels if I entered a new URL manually. This seems more usable to me than retaining zoom level, and only zooming to show content.
- falling 15y agoiOS definitely doesn't retain zoom levels between pages and never has. On zooming in to content (actually it zooms in on page blocks) I disagree, but I'll leave it at personal preference. Android zooms in at a fixed zoom level and reflows the text, IIRC. (don't test any mobile web browser on this very website as the HTML is awful and makes its job much harder)
