Title: Reading spoiler text on mobile devices - how?
Post by: jg18 on August 25, 2013, 06:17:50 pm: I have an iPhone 5 running iOS 6.1.4 and can't figure out how to read it. Using built-in Safari.

EDIT: Well, you can quote the post when possible, but I'm hoping there's a better method.

Any modern version of Android should allow you to go into text selection mode by long-pressing. Then just highlight the spoiler. That's how I do it on my Nexus devices... but who knows, various manufacturers may have changed that functionality cause who knows...
