I synced this to wmf.24 as there is no train next week and also so QA can happen on testwiki now

Testing notes

It would be great if someone with access to physical mobile devices could test how well hCaptcha works with gestures like pinch to zoom, etc.

I have done a certain amount of cross-device testing of this, but we could always do more.

I have tested various iOS and Android mobile devices including:

• iPad 6 iOS 12 (Browserstack simulator)
• iPhone 11 iOS 13 Safari (Browserstack)
• iPad 4 iOS 14 Safari (Browserstack)
• Google Nexus 5 Android 5.0 (saucelabs emulator)
• Google Nexus 6 Android 6.0 (saucelabs emulator)
• Samsung Galaxy S25 Android 15.0 Chrome (Browserstack)

However, none of these have been on physical devices. I don't know how well browserstack or saucelabs simulate touch screens and they don't allow for gestures like pinch.

I haven't seen this issue since on various mobile devices.

I was not able to do this.
