# iOS 13 and Stripe Elements label focus issue

Starting in iOS 13, Stripe Elements are unable to direct the browser’s focus into the Element input field in Safari when the user clicks on a `<label>` tag for the Element. This is due to a new limitation in mobile Safari, and is most apparent with implementations where the label is overlaid directly on top of the Element, usually to animate away upon being focused.
For implementations of Stripe Elements which overlay the label on top of the Element, the suggested way to retain the expected user experience is to apply the `pointer events: none` CSS property to your Element’s `<label>`. That will allow the user’s click to focus the Element directly.
