What is the default value of initial-scale
I have been reading this article on initial-scale.
It mentions how to set the initial-scale, but what is the default value? I.e. when initial-scale is not set? (I know it could just be included) just interested what will happen if it is not.
For example:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">
From this image (on the page above):
It does not seem to be 1 since it zooms.

Though I am not exactly sure what the default value would be, it seems that the value is bad in a lot of examples. Without initial scale, you could possibly get a zooming bug in rotation and media queries for the landscape mode being ignored.
Check out this link for examples that are done with and without initial-value. https://www.sitepoint.com/community/t/mobile-viewport-orientations-initial-scale-1-0/38495/11
