@CapitalOne could y’all test your apps on older iPhones? I cannot mobile deposit on my iPhone SE any more because the “0” button is literally off the bottom of the screen

[Chris @cdanis]

@AskCapitalOne Thanks. Do your sites support mobile check deposit? I thought that was only in the app

Guido van Rossum:

Me: What's the built-in way to do that?

Guido: *Sweating*
