Does anyone else notice that iOS screen recording does something to 'fix' a bug?

1 pointsby wsinksalmost 2 years ago
Hey everyone, I just wanted to ask to see if anyone else has experienced this. Often times some web page doesn&#x27;t work that well in iOS&#x27;s Safari app. Maybe it&#x27;s a web app that doesn&#x27;t seem to pass the screen input in properly, so you can&#x27;t interact and change your seat during check in. Maybe it&#x27;s that the webpage opened up another page for giving feedback and you find that the windowed view no longer scrolls, so you can&#x27;t submit your feedback.<p>What&#x27;s weird to me is that often times if I&#x27;m seeing something like that, I&#x27;ll swipe down and do a screen recording to record the behavior. And then, lo and behold, the behavior fixes itself. You can interact with that web app. You can scroll in that windowed view.<p>I&#x27;m gonna go with Hanlon&#x27;s law for the moment, but... has anyone else experienced this? Is there some sort of process that gets activated that does some sort of hard reset of the webpage and therefore might fix whatever process has stalled? I&#x27;d love to have a better answer than my current theory of &#x27;it does something&#x27;.<p>I&#x27;m not an iOS developer, and I realize now that I&#x27;ve written things out that I do know enough that I bet I do some research into how the screen recording function works... but maybe someone knows faster?<p>Thanks y&#x27;all!
