Fastclick is no longer required in iOS 10?

[nicmar]

Try this demo on an iOS 10 device: http://ftlabs.github.io/fastclick/examples/layer.html

There is very little difference now, button A gives 10-20ms delay on my iPhone 6s and iPhone 5c, instead of 300ms as before. I'm not sure if this is new to iOS 10 or already in iOS 9.

I'm interested to hear if anyone else has similar experiences.

A couple of years now.. https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2013/12/300ms-tap-delay-gone-away Hence why this repo is a bit of a ghost town these days..

Only if your viewport is exactly the device-width, if you zoom in a bit or have a different vieweport, the delay still exists

Also, if you "optimize" your web application by adding the apple-mobile-web-app-capable meta tag, as documented by Apple, and you add the page to your home screen, the delay comes back.

Try it out here (install it in your home screen):

I am not sure why this happens and I am very grateful for Fastclick.

@cmermingas I have that exact issue when adding the web app to the home screen. Have you found out a fix?

[gazpachu]

Nop. TBH, I haven't looked for one yet

300ms delay still exists when running in WebView (eg. Cordova).

[geekchow]

Because the cordova use the UIWebView rather than WKWebView, and the UIWebView haven't fix the delay issue.

I still hace this problem in IOS 12, the input box is difficult to focus.

You can use https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-wkwebview-engine It's easy to integrate :)
