title: How do you disable phone number detection in mobile safari
body: <p>I have tried to disable phone number detection in safari for my web app but it still shows 7 character strings  comprised of numbers as phone numbers.  I used the apple provided meta tag but no joy.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;meta name="format-detection" content="telephone=no"&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Anyone else run into this problem and work around it?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
  
  <p>Update: It looks like it does not detect phone numbers in safari but rather when I save the page as an icon and run it from the home screen.  </p>
