@bemyevent when you say "till yesterday", do you mean that Chrome is now working on the iPhone, or is it still broken? |

Yes I see the same. Neither Chrome nor Firefox works for me on iOS. |

Hi there, thanks for reaching out about this. Chrome on iOS is not actually Chrome. It is Safari (Webkit) wrapped in Chrome UI. Apple does not allow browser vendors to run their own browser engines on iOS. They force you to use Webkit, and more specifically, a version of Webkit that does not have the full feature set, like access to the microphone. Since Chrome & Firefox on iphones don't have access to the device microphone, it's not possible to run Hubs on these browsers. The error message should direct users to try to open Hubs using Safari however. If you are not seeing a message directing you to Safari, please let us know so I can file a bug report. |
