    What happens when you try?
    What I am finding on my Samsung S21 is that you have try tapping the plane multiple times before it registers.
    Has not always been like this, it's a new problem which started a week or 2 ago.

    It's working perfectly fine on my phone ... i won't be able to debug this ...

    I'd suggest something changed with your Samsung devices.

    Make them bigger in the settings maybe that should make them easier to not miss.

    I suppose i can mess with the allowed tolerance for selection on mobile.
    ... Increased the tolerance a little for mobile.

    debug tells me its not registering the tap to the icon @wiedehopf , if that helps you figure out anything in the short run. its simply not accepting the tap as "hey i want to see this aircraft" until you force it.

    i do have a suggestion, what is the timing resolution of the map? it seems its only checking for info at a very loose interval.

    i know the desktop version throws me a crazy amount of "Slow down" warnings when im using the Hex ID History function, and yet im clicking day by day at a interval of 1-2 clicks every 2-3 seconds, and it STILL does not like that. im no programmer at a expert level, but i do have IT Experience, and the basics of that would be, maybe increase the tick rate of the map update.

    i also have a S21 Ultra and the same issue. just going to have to deal with it or use another mobile browser.

    resetting your Chrome will also dump all your saved passwords, sync data, history etc etc ..... but it DOES fix the issue temporarily until a few days later it will rear its ugly head again.

    Firefox Mobile does not have this issue, and will import and sync your google accounts if you want to try it

    Plus, Firefox has much better privacy and security than Chrome does.

    I will give that a thought.
