Here is a way to hide content of both Android and iOS

Android:
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html#attr_android:
importantForAccessibility

iOS:
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uiaccessibilityelement/16195
80-isaccessibilityelement

I work for TPG and give native mobile app accessibility trainings/webinars.

Thanks, Birkir. I actually am signed up for the full content with Deque
University (my second time around -- I guess my retention is not so good).
I will check it out.

And thanks for the answer. I suspected as much. I noticed that on the web
site in question the links behind the menu, when open, are tabbable when the
browser is made smaller, like a mobile device.
