Disabling iOS mobile browser "Auto zoom" in Experience Builder?

In anticipation for the Feb. 25, 2026 retirement of a lot of the legacy WAB elements, I've been rebuilding several of our existing applications.

Overall things have been going well, but I encountered a rather frustrating issue. I made a mobile sub-version of one our web maps, and for the most part, it seems to mostly work. Everything seems to be formatted properly to function (and not look awful) regardless of the screen size. However, on iOS devices, whenever you click into a search box (like a query tool), the screen resizes automatically to being beyond the scope of you device. This leads to a situation where you have to then scroll around the page to see all elements in the map.

Obviously, this is not ideal for something I want the public to be able to use. I've done some searching on this issue and what limited information I can find is there has to be a minimum search box size of 16px or iOS will resize it. Therefor, my question becomes, is there a way to either disable this auto zoom in the Experience Builder app itself or set the search box size (particularly in the query widget) to 16px?

Would also love to see this issue resolved! My issue arises when using the location search tool within a map. It zooms in just slightly enough to crop out all the side menus. You then can't even zoom back out because the pinch-to-zoom map takes up the entire screen!
