Block editor on mobile?

When will the block editor in WordPress become smooth on mobile? Even if you can handle it well on desktop, it’s hard to work on it on mobile. And it doesn’t make any fun.

  • It doesn’t scroll the editor to always show the last line while typing “long” content.
  • Adding a new block via Enter scrolls the whole editor weirdly, but not as expected. (The same applies to switching to a different block by taping on it.)
  • You can’t scroll down enough to see the tags while typing into its field.
  • The preview drop-down is missing (and thus doesn’t allow for third-party previews, e.g. a Fediverse preview).

All tested on the latest iOS. And this is only what I could find spontaneously.

As a developer, I work with WordPress every day. By day, I create plugins and themes, solve problems and sometimes produce new ones. At night, it’s not unusual to find me at the WordPress Meetup in Stuttgart with my dog. 🐕
