100vh is 100% of the viewport height. We often use this unit in the hero section, modal, header.. and it has a very common issue on mobile that you can see in an image below.
As you can see we have a navigation bar at the bottom of the browser float on our site and 100vh does not work properly. And each browser navigation bar has a different height, so we do not have a fixed value to calculate this height.
To resolve an issue we can use a trick below:
.my-element {
height: 100vh; /* Fallback for browsers that do not support Custom Properties */
height: calc(var(--vh, 1vh) * 100);
}// We listen to the resize event
window.addEventListener('resize', () => {
// We execute the same script as before
let vh = window.innerHeight * 0.01;
document.documentElement.style.setProperty('--vh', `${vh}px`);
});Please be careful when using CSS variables, because your browser can be not supported, please check details here: https://caniuse.com/css-variables

Hope this helps!
