Is it possible to get the height of visible content between the address bar and keyboard in iOS Safari?

Question

Since the height of this area varies from device to device and iOS version, I'm wondering if there is any way to dynamically figure out its height to make this area more useful.

Answer 1

It's possible to get the height of visible content now with the VisualViewport api (window.visualViewport.height). Seems it's only supported by safari 13 and higher though

Answer 2

It is not possible since safari 10.0

Answer 3

use this:

<meta name="viewport" content="user-scalable=no, width=device-width, height=device-height" /> 

and then the correct value can be get from window.innerWidth / window.innerHeight

Answer 4

I would imaging that $(window).height() would give you that data because it returns the height of the viewport, unless safari is being very weird/not doing as it should.
