The fullscreen view in Safari on IOS 15 isn't being triggered when JavaScript is used to deploy a scroll down effect. This fullscreen view only seems to show when the screen is physically swiped up a little.
| DEFAULT IOS BEHAVIOR ON SWIPE DOWN | JAVASCRIPT INDUCED SCROLL ON BUTTON TAP |
|---|---|
 |
 |
| Notice the address bar at the bottom hides when the screen is swiped | The bottom address bar fails to hide like it normally would with a screen swipe and remains full height |
Is there a way this swipe up gesture can be triggered artificially with JavaScript to push the address bar down in a working example?

How do I hide the address bar on iPhone?
