Whenever I view content on my phone, everything appears unnaturally tiny. Is there a way to adjust this using CSS to make it

While I have a good grasp of the concepts behind responsive design and @media queries, I'm facing an issue with a project that consists of very basic HTML. The project includes:

    <html lang="en-us">
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title>RegEx Profanity Filter</title>
    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
  </head>


    <body>
 <p>Insert profanity laced rant here:</p>
<textarea rows="4" cols="50">

</textarea>

<input type="button" value="Click me" onclick="check()">

<div id = "filtered"></div>

</body>

On my laptop, the content in the Regex Profanity filter occupies approximately one-third of the screen width, appearing well. However, when accessing it on my iPhone through Safari, this remains unchanged, resulting in everything appearing minuscule.

I attempted enclosing all elements in the initial project within a div named "everything" and specifying its width as 100% for screens less than or equal to 900px. Regrettably, this approach did not yield the desired outcome.

How can I effectively resolve this issue?

Answer №1

Specify the viewport settings using the <meta> tag inside the <head>.

<head>
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
</head>

This particular code line instructs the browser to adjust the viewport's width to match the device screen and initially display the webpage at a 100% zoom level. This ensures proper and responsive display of the webpage on various devices.

name="viewport": This attribute clarifies that the metadata is meant for specifying viewport settings.

width=device-width: This segment sets the viewport width equivalent to the device screen width.

initial-scale=1.0: This section determines the initial zoom level upon page loading. A scale of 1.0 maintains a 100% zoom level without any initial adjustments or scaling.
