# Why you must not disable zoom on mobile

> user-scalable=no stops people with low vision from enlarging the page. It is a WCAG failure; iOS Safari ignores it, but Android browsers do not.

## Zoom on phones

Passing looks like: Visitors can zoom the page on their phone.

**Why it matters.** Many people zoom web pages on their phone to read small text. A viewport tag with user-scalable=no or a low maximum-scale turns that off in Chrome on Android; only iOS Safari ignores it.

**How to fix it.**

1. Change the viewport meta tag to <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">.
2. Remove user-scalable=no, and remove maximum-scale or set it to 5 or more; in WordPress this usually lives in the theme header or a mobile plugin.
