Is Canvas on your mobile browser acting up for anyone else?

For days now, whenever I've tried to open Canvas in my mobile Chrome browser to pull up something or fix something in my admin panel, the site loads but the admin side just doesn't work. The admin button isn't even there. It used to be that checking "Request Desktop Site" would fix it, but now that gives me the admin button but no link to get into my root admin account. I really need to be able to access my admin powers on-the-go for emergency fixes, but I can't do that at all now. What happened? Anyone have a solution?

@KeriSalyards I received a response about this!

This behavior has been identified by Instructure Support as a bug, and our engineering team is actively working on a solution. I don't have a timeline for when the fix will be released, but I am optimistic that it will be ready soon.

Yes! I thought I was the only one, it was really helpful. I don't know why it is gone, but I would also like it back.

Ah, finally! I thought I was going nuts because no one else seemed to have the issue! The link for my institution has come back when I request the desktop site, thank goodness, but the whole Admin button is still gone on the mobile version. We're begging, Instructure, please bring it back!
