Hi! I really need help… BADLY. ;( My text input component just won’t work. When I live-test it on my computer, all the inputs’ hints are visible, and you can type in it. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/8/b/8ba57c9fe7a7b7575ecabf27c084cc218489246a.jpeg) But when I live-test it on my android phone, the top 2 text inputs don’t show their hints, and clicking on them does nothing. I am in despair!!! Can someone please help??? Thank you everyone in advance 🙂 Best regards, Anika ---

You will need to share a copy to your project so that someone can look into it. ---

Thank you for the speedy reply! Here it is: [https://x.thunkable.com/copy/9ea6545ead832f2c9620f5c18a7bd0cb](https://x.thunkable.com/copy/9ea6545ead832f2c9620f5c18a7bd0cb) Note: The input issue only occurs when live-testing on a phone. I tried both my Android and iOS phones, and they both had the same issue. Thunkable Live is installed with its latest updated version, but MAYBE it’s the problem. I don’t really know… ---

I see what you mean about the text inputs not working on an iPhone. But I have not been able to duplicate the issue myself when adding a new Text Input. I’ve checked every property of the Text Input and I don’t see any difference from yours. Very strange. Maybe try adding a new text input? ---

I faced the same issue after making an update to my app recently (update was nothing to do with the text inputs). after a lot of messing I solved it by going into the advanced tab of the text input and changing editable to false and then back to true. ---
