This is what I’m not understanding: are they doing user-agent sniffing or perhaps using a proprietary JavaScript API? Couldn’t de-Googled browsers just pretend to be iOS (as ugly as that would be)?
IOS users need to download the recaptcha app.
I’ve never had to install it; granted I only disable my Google blockers when I need to do something serious (like paying bills) but I’ve never installed the app.
It’s new and they have documentation. My guess is that the global rollout hasn’t been done yet and that it will come progressively.
