Fixed or Parallax Background Images Not Displaying on iOS Devices

Understanding the iOS Limitation

Fixed or parallax background images may not appear correctly on iPhones or iPads due to a known limitation within iOS. This behavior is caused by the iOS Safari browser restricting the JavaScript required for parallax animations. While these effects work as expected on Android devices, Chromebooks, and Windows tablets, iOS mobile Safari does not support fixed background rendering.

Recommended Workaround

To ensure your background images display properly across all devices, create a separate mobile-specific section for your page. In this mobile section, choose a background option other than Parallax or Fixed, such as a standard static image.

For guidance on creating device-specific sections, refer to our help article on making separate sections for mobile phones.
