Safari 'Reader Mode'

iPhone's Safari offers a 'Reader Mode' that simplifies webpages, displaying only text and images and removing distractions like ads and navigation menus.

If you have this option activated for askmyGP, or configured to be 'On' by default within your devices' system settings, this will hide navigation buttons from view, which may prevent you from using the system.

You can follow the steps below which help you to enable/disable this feature for askmyGP, or for all websites.
