1 week ago What might be confusing and I'm not sure if there's an easy way to reconcile is I think it's "supported" in that it is recognized by the browser but there is no code in the file chooser interface on mobile phones to allow selection of a directory when using it.
What type of issue is this?
Incorrect support data (example: BrowserX says "86" but support was added in "40")
What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?
11982 was fixed by https://github.com/mdn/browser-compat-data/pull/21451 but the fix was reverted by https://github.com/mdn/browser-compat-data/pull/22050.
What browsers does this problem apply to, if applicable?
Chromium (Chrome, Edge 79+, Opera, Samsung Internet), Firefox, Safari
What did you expect to see?
It's more accurate to say no mobile browsers support webkitdirectory, because https://caniuse.com/input-file-directory is unsupported on all of them.
Did you test this? If so, how?
Yeah, I tried using this option on a phone and there was no way to choose a folder to upload.
