How to fix Bootstrap Carousel flicker/flash/blink on Iphones when it transitions to the next item? (Video example included)


I'm working on a website that has a two carousels for mobile screen sizes. It works perfectly fine on ALL devices except SOME iphones. I have no idea whats causing the issue and none of the devices where its happening are within a 300 mile radius of me, so I can't even debug it. Has anyone run into this issue or know a fix for it?

Again, its important to note that this is only happening on SOME iphones.

Here is a video of whats happening: https://youtu.be/8XGMKTpUUrI

Here is the html, css, and js code, respectively.

$("#mobileCarousel").carousel({
  interval: 10000
})

$("#mobileCarousel").on("touchstart", function(event){
        var xClick = event.originalEvent.touches[0].pageX;
    $(this).one("touchmove", function(event){
        var xMove = event.originalEvent.touches[0].pageX;
        if( Math.floor(xClick - xMove) > 3 ){
            $(this).carousel('next');
        }
        else if( Math.floor(xClick - xMove) < -3 ){
            $(this).carousel('prev');
        }
    });
    $(".carousel").on("touchend", function(){
            $(this).off("touchmove");
    });
});

$(".carousel carousel-item").each(function(){
  var minPerSlide = 3;
  var nextElement = $(this).next();
  if(!nextElement.length){
    nextElement = $(this).siblings(":first");
  }
  nextElement.children(':first-child').clone().appendTo($(this));

  for (var i = 0; i < minPerSlide; i++) {
    nextElement = nextElement.next();
    if(!nextElement.length){
      nextElement = $(this).siblings(":first");
    }
    nextElement.children(":first-child").clone().appendTo($(this));
  }
});
@media only screen and (max-width: 767px) {
  .carousel-inner .carousel-item > div {
    display: none;
  }
  .carousel-inner .carousel-item > div:first-child {
    display: block;

  }
}

Solution

  • So, after many sleepless nights and debugging the heck out of it, turns out that the problem was that I was using old versions of Bootstrap and jQuery lmao. As soon as I included the most recent versions of jQuery and Bootstrap the page started behaving exactly as expected in all versions of IOS.
