iOS - Allow users to change width of visible column

[Kerry_Kriger]

Hi,
My iPhone doesn’t allow me to change the width of the first column, making it very hard to read what is written there…

We are using airtable app with drivers to deliver products to our customers. They need to be able to read the items which are cut off. Please fix this.

Been experimenting the last hour with trying to solve issue with main field width. And the closest I came is this: On IPhone I’ve hidden (almost) all fields in « Hidden fields ». Hope this helps!

Even better would be if Airtable engineers fixed this :slightly_smiling_face: Users have been asking for this for years.

[Luc_Poitras1]

Totally agree this is totally ridiculous

[Chuck_S]

Airtable Engineer will not fix this anytime soon.

The company is focusing on Enterprise sales and iOS apps is at the bottom of the list.

Enterprise clients likely use iOS app too…

[Chuck_S]

Maybe so, but seeing that this thread has been opened since 2017 and no fix, it is very likely Airtable will not do anything.

Enterprise customers that uses Airtable use laptops more often than iPad / iPhone as their primary work device.

Still? STILL?? Come on folks- changing column width on an iPad should have been fixed years ago…please bump this up.

[Kerry_Kriger]

Nobody has changed the width of an iOS Airtable column in years. They create lots of new apps and interfaces but the basic functionality is still missing.

Bummer. I just bought an iPad Pro to use Airtable in the field and am now just realizing it’s useless without being able to resize columns. Checked Numbers app and you can resize columns so it’s not an iOS issue, it’s Airtable not making this a priority.
