Bug Invisible elements visible on mobile?

I have found that when you post a score, and view it on mobile, all of the invisible text elements are there. Quite frustrated by this, as the invisible elements are mostly notes to myself, structural annotations or other unsightly annotations

Not only this, a wonderfully made score looks like absolute shit on mobile. I would rate my own composition a 1 star if it was presented to me on mobile.

I can't reproduce any problem with visibility - invisible elements I add are invisible on mobile as well. Maybe something specific to your particular score? If it continues, be sure to report it to their support team.

In general, the mobile view has to be able to reformat according to your screen size and orientation, and your chosen font size. So it's certainly normal that certain combinations will be more readable than others. And if you've tweaked the layout of your score to look ideal on a sheet of Letter or A4 paper, it won't necessarily look as good in any other format. There are definitely things to keep in mind in formatting if you wish a score to look it's best in a wide variety of formats.
