Page overlays not working properly on instagram browser

@arminunruh thanks for looking into this. I will check it again on my end as well.
Would be so amazing if this is resolved, i love this feature!! : )

@arminunruh Just double checked and the issue still occurs. For now I have implemented a rather poor work around with a message to open the page on an external browser…
Can I provide you with any code or the actual site to look into it and see whats actually happening?

Hey man, didn't we write emails about this? I think what ended up happening is I put your website in my Instagram bio and your website worked correctly on my iPhone in my Instagram.

Then I told you I can't really test out other Instagram browsers on other phones, and within an Instagram browser, you can't really debug things because it's like a browser within an app. Usually, you can get some debug information, for example, in iOS Safari by connecting the phone to your computer and then you can open some debugging tools.

So basically I'm not too sure what to do here. I think we could have an option that says "disable project overlays when using Instagram browser".

Do you think that would be a good solution? Because you know I can't really debug this.

Hey @arminunruh we didn’t exchange mails unfortunately. Not sure with whom you did, haha. And just to be sure: Have you checked this site https://lawrie-abei.com/ via the instagram browser? Please double check if not.

In the other case, yes it would be very helpful to have an option to disable project overlays on Instagram browser to temporarily fix this. Remaining hopeful that Instagram will at some point be able to support this feature somehow.

Please let me know if this issue in fact doesn’t appear on your phone with the mentioned website. Thanks so much Armin!!

Okay, well I can't really test it because it gives me that message that's like "oh open this in your normal browser"

But the website's design is really nice.

Disabling the project overlay when using Instagram seems to be a bit hard to do. I just tried but couldn't finish the task, and may be able to do it sometime this week, let's see.

Hey, so with the Lay Theme update that I'm releasing later today, project overlays will just be disabled on Instagram, and you will have this new setting in Lay options: other section:
