Alright, so I know I should really know this however I've used this line of code a lot and never really understood what it accomplishes. Taking a guess, I beleive it's something to do making the resolution maintain?

Anyhow:

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1, user-scalable=0">

Sorry if this sounds nooby, just curious
