jp Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Hi when users sign into my site on a computer they are remembered so next time when they visit they are already logged in. However, when on a tablet/ mobile device it doesn't seem to remember if a user is logged in and so users have to log in each time. This is frustrating my users, so is there are way to fix? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 Does this happen for other people where the site doesn't remember people on iPhone and they have to log in every time? really hoping there is a way to fix this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigf136 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I have similar experiences, I haven't been able to test it yet and would report it once I had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp Posted November 21, 2015 Author Share Posted November 21, 2015 i have had users report back that they stayed logged in on Sony Xperia phones and also Windows phones, but not iPhones. Not sure what the issue is. I have an iPhone and i have to log back in every single time, so i can confirm the issues that my members on iPhones are experiencing.

jp Posted November 22, 2015 Author Share Posted November 22, 2015 surely others would know if people are having issues with iPhones as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day_ Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Works fine for me on my site. Have you asked them to try clearing their cookies? I do have a minor issue on this site tho, if I use browser back out of any topic it logs me out, reload the page and I'm back in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathan Explosion Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 You guys have mentioned iOS devices here - but get a bit more detail going....what browser are you using on the devices? Does it happen in all browsers, or just one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jp Posted November 29, 2015 Author Share Posted November 29, 2015 ok, i have tested and yes i works on Chrome but not on Safari. Is there a way to fix on Safari? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Explosion Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I believe you're hitting a long standing issue with Safari - it has a habit of losing cookies and thus logging people out of websites (any site, not just IPS sites) A quick google search will show up several issues over the past few years (facebook appears to be a popular concern) and there are several 'fixes' and 'workarounds' on them that you could try out.

jp Posted November 29, 2015 Author Share Posted November 29, 2015 actually that got me googling. it turns out i think it comes down to me, and probably my users, using safari in 'private' mode such that cookies weren't being saved. if this is the issue, sorry for wasting everyone's time, highly embarrassed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
