      I've got a strange issue where if visitor is viewing a website from within the Google Search App, the app doesn't seem to be able to handle online forms.

      The form relies users on entering data, which is then POSTed to an external booking engine site.  Normally this works fine, except when Google Search App is acting as the browser, the post payload is empty and the URL breaks.

      We're a bit stumped as to how to move forward.  So far the only lead is that Android users can override having the app behave as a browser - but doesn't seem like iOS users can.

      Any additional ideas/tips are welcome here - thanks.  🙂

        This is not an SEO function, this has to do with how your site is coded and how that code interacts with the app.  You will need to bring in a Dev to troubleshoot your code and find a solution.
