@joedolson Any chance of you releasing that fix as a plugin? It would be
most appreciated 🙏🏻

Oh, that's a pity. I came back to this issue after having updated the
sites in question to WP 7.0 and finding that the **mobile menu still
doesn't work**.
Those people I mentioned will not update their old iPhones soon, so to
them it is not an issue that will go away. It will of course *eventually*,
but the priorities behind this are a mystery to me:
- On the one hand we're spending incredible resources to implement a
feature like Real Time Collaboration, which imho could just as well be a
canonical plugin.
- On the other hand **mobile navigation in a block theme does not work on
an old iPhone** and the fix would cost next to nothing to implement.
So I had to tell those people that their WordPress menu will not work as
promised. Ironically it was **Global Accessibility Awareness Day**...
