I did it for example in a game where two players swipe on the same screen at the same time, which could be interpreted as a zoom gesture, or a reload gesture, so I disabled both those things for hopefully understandable reasons. It’s annoying that the only browser you can use on iPhones doesn’t support this, it could at least be a prompt you could say yes/no to if they actually cared about accessibility, rather than making playing a game where it actually should not zoom, unfun.

What do you mean by the “only browser you can use on iPhones”? The only engine you mean?
100% agree with this dude. It’s friggin’ annoying when some website you’re supposed to use disables zooming. Didn’t know it could be forced. That’s great.
My biggest bugbear is between this and unadjustable font sizes within mobile apps.
I agree… for native apps it is very easy to have adjustable font sizes. But for web sites used in mobile devices, it’s painful because we need to support all adjustable system fonts or do some tricks. Web sites blocking native (browsers or not) features like zoom are boring.
