Try explaining to users that the feature they want and expect doesn't work for them because their particular browser doesn't support it, despite it working on every other browser and platform.

The only solution I see is telling users to "use the app", which doesn't exist yet.

You tell them it doesn't work on iPhone because of Apple policy such and such and to go complain to Apple if they want the feature. If enough people do it then maybe things change. If developers continue caving and not letting users know there will be no pressure on Apple.

I agree on principle, but I'm not telling sick people that.
