How do I hide the address bar on iPhone?

Question

How do I hide the address bar on iPhone?

I tried two different methods so far:

• The scroll down one pixel trick with JavaScript on page load

Answer 1

Unless something has changed in recent iOS versions, the scroll down trick is the only one that reliably works, I've had no issues with this version:

/mobile/i.test(navigator.userAgent) && !location.hash && setTimeout(function() {
  window.scrollTo(0, 1);
}, 1000);​

I didn't care about any other mobile platform for this particular page though, it was redirecting based on agent...you may want to change the regex to check for iPhone specifically, e.g. replace /mobile/ with /iPhone/.
