#Unable to adjust light brightness by holding on iOS

I have 5 bulbs on home assistant, and use the iOS app, Safari and Firefox. I used to be able to adjust the brightness of each bulb by tapping and holding the on/off button until the slider popped up. But this stopped working some months ago. Now i can only turn the bulbs on/off by tapping but holding does nothing. I don’t have a way to adjust the brightness anymore.

Is this a known regression on the app? Are there any workarounds?

This is part of the dashboard code:

  - type: horizontal-stack
    cards:
      - show_name: true
        show_icon: true
        type: button
        entity: light.bulbbright1
        name: Bulb 1

I posted this on the [companion apps](#1328980805455843380 message) channel, but the dev said this is a FE issue since the issue happens on iOS Safari & Firefox as well, not just the app. Thanks 🙏

I don't think this will be helpful but I just tested things on my side and everything seems to work just fine. I used your button code (replacing the entity_id with one of mine). The hold_action brought up more-info. I tested with Firefox on Windows and Android tablet, HA app on iPad and Android tablet, and Safari on iPad.
If you want to force the hold_action (even though this is the default), try changing to this: ```yaml

  • show_name: true
    show_icon: true
    type: button
    entity: light.bulbbright1
    name: Bulb 1
    hold_action:
    action: more-info ```
