Hi there!

Working with the Google Maps app. On the Content panel, go to a Location → Action on Marker Click. Open info window is selected and Open Info Window by Default is On.

This works great to open the Info window by default on desktop browsers. However, the info window is not open by default on mobile devices:

- iOS 15.5 (tested on iPhone 5)
- Android 11 (tested on Pixel 2)

but it _does_ work on iOS 15.5 iPad and in responsive desktop browsers

I’ve just consulted with our developers, and unfortunately this feature is not available for mobile devices due to usability reasons, as the info window takes up too much space on a mobile screen.

I’m extremely sorry for that, and I hope we’ll find a way to implement it in the foreseeable future.

I understand that in _some use cases_, the window may take up too much space. However, in _my use cases_, it fits fine because I am not using many of the other fields.

I would suggest a feature a toggle or checkbox for “Desktop” and “Mobile.” That way and end user can decide for themselves if the UX is useable or not.
