⚠️ Deprecared 💀

Moved this plugin to the new monorepo at https://github.com/astrocreep/capacitor-plugins

capacitor-textinteraction

Toggle text interaction in Capacitor based iOS apps.

Background: Apple reintroduced the magnifier lens with iOS 15. There are two different ways how this function is triggered. Either by longpressing on a text element or by double tap and hold. You can disable the longpress version in CSS via -webkit-user-select: none;, but this won't work for the double tap and hold. As I'm using Capacitor for games, the lens is the last thing I want to pop up while playing the game 😇

Install

npm install capacitor-textinteraction
npx cap sync

API
