Why is it that I can’t see the item description that the seller wrote using my eBay app on iOS yet I can see the description if I use a browser? I already updated to the latest app version but it didn’t help.

@2004princeton when this issue happened before for both the iOS and android apps, one suggested workaround was to "double tap" on the listing title.
I know the title doesn't look like a link (not underlined or a different color), but recent updates to the app appear to treat it like one and users discovered that by tapping on the listing title two times, it would pop up the description.
Here's an example I was able to screenshot from the Android app.
Not sure if the issue you are running into is the same or if this workaround will work, but it's worth a shot.
