iOS Add to home screen and upper side of the Nav bar becoming see-through

Hello
It could be a really basic question but i am new to Bubble and desperately need help to solve this issue.

I created a Navigation bar by using reusable element, setting it as a floating group in Appearance tab.

It works fine when using mobile Safari browser, but when i use “add to home screen” and open the website, upper side of the navigation bar becoming see through.
(i don’t even know whats it called-iOS Status bar-am i right?)

And the tricky part for me is that, i made couple of different apps in bubble and i made all navigation bar exactly the same way, reusable, floating group.
But like attached pictures, only purple one has this issue and the others are fine.

I want to make a full-colored-to-top Nav bar like a Blue one below, but i really don’t know whats the difference and how to set this up as i want.
Thanks for the help in advance

I’ve experienced this, but several years ago. I don’t recall exactly how I got rid of it, but unless someone beats me to it, I’ll look back in the app and reply back with the solution. It’s a frustrating issue.

The “Add Home Screen” feature allows users are always to create shortcuts to specific web pages on their device’s home screen, making it easy to access without having to open a web browser

Reason for seeing the navigation bar:

  • Design aesthetics: Many websites intentionally design the navigation bar to stand out when added to the home screen, making it more modern and less minimalist
  • User Experience: An intuitive navigation system can provide a clean and immersive experience, especially for full-screen content like videos or images.
  • Platform guidelines: Apple’s design guidelines can encourage developers to use transparent navigation bars to create a consistent experience across apps and websites

If you are having trouble with the navigation bar view when adding a website to your home screen, it could be:

  • The designers have intentionally designed the site to look the way it does.
  • There may be bugs or bugs in the website code.
  • Your device settings may affect the appearance of the navigation bar.

To resolve this issue if you can:

  • Check the developer settings on the website: If the website allows you to customize the appearance, look for different options for the navigation bar.
  • Try to clear your browser and cookies: sometimes, corrupted data can cause unexpected behavior but it’s okay.
  • Update your iOS to the latest version : Make sure you are using the latest version of iOS, as updates often include bug fixes and enhancements.
  • Contact the website support team: If you are still facing issues, contact the Mobile app development company for authenticated help.
