Hi all,
I’m interested in starting to use the mobile functionality with p5, but when I check the examples on their site:
[https://p5js.org/examples/mobile-tilted-3d-box.html](https://p5js.org/examples/mobile-tilted-3d-box.html)
[https://p5js.org/examples/mobile-acceleration-color.html](https://p5js.org/examples/mobile-acceleration-color.html)
[https://p5js.org/examples/mobile-shake-ball-bounce.html](https://p5js.org/examples/mobile-shake-ball-bounce.html)
The sketches load but don’t function as they should (when I move my phone nothing happens).
Does anyone have insight on this? I’m using an iPhone 7 Plus.
Thanks!
Tori

Hello Tori
When Apple released Safari 13 for iOS, they made it mandatory to ask the user for permission before getting access to orientation and motion data. It’s a privacy thing.
There’s an [open issue to handle this in the p5.js project](https://github.com/processing/p5.js/issues/4037). Until then, you could probably work around it yourself: [How to Request Device Motion and Orientation Permission in iOS 13](https://medium.com/flawless-app-stories/how-to-request-device-motion-and-orientation-permission-in-ios-13-74fc9d6cd140).
