Solution

Never disable user zoom - it’s critical for users with low vision. Remove user-scalable=no and maximum-scale=1.0 from your viewport meta tag. Good: <meta name='viewport' content='width=device-width, initial-scale=1'>. Bad: <meta name='viewport' content='width=device-width, user-scalable=no, maximum-scale=1.0'>. Users must be able to zoom up to at least 500% (WCAG 1.4.4 requires 200%, but browsers limit to 500%).
