Your problem made me curious, so I played a bit. I took one of my slide
presentations and applied the Metropolis master slide theme to all the
slides. I then exported the file as PDF, HTML, and XHTML and then sent
them to my Samsung A51 smartphone.
The PDF displayed just fine on my Samsung phone. I then opened the file
on my iPad and immediately saw what you are talking about. The text was
lost on all my slide titles and on some slides, it was cut off. It only
happened on the Apple device, and not on the Android device.
I then used my original LO file, which was NOT made with the Metropolis
master slide theme. I used a master slide that I had created myself and
it loaded just fine on my iPad.
It appears as if the problem is within the Metropolis master slide theme.
As some suggested using HTML, I tried exporting the file as both HTML
and XHTML, and both were much more challenging and I received a wide
variety of results depending on the various HTML variables I applied.
However, despite all my experimentation, I didn't find any HTML export
solution that gave me everything. Some resulted in a separate file for
each slide, some resulted in a loss of slide structure and others
resulted in a loss of graphics. In short, I wasn't satisfied with any of
the HTML solutions.
If I were you, I would try a different master slide theme. The
Metropolis clearly creates a problem, but I don't know why. It's not
just a font issue. I changed the font on my Metropolis based
presentation to Sitka Text (the font used in my self-created theme) and
it was still getting cut off on the Apple device.

It's an instructional presentation. I want to distribute it as a
single file that anyone can open.
PDF really is the best option, but as mentioned, I'm having some issues
with the fonts on the iphone.

Without knowing what you are exporting, I would not make a suggestion, but did
you consider HTML?

Yes, for distribution to a large amount of people, none of which use
libreoffice.

I made a presentation with impress, used Metropolis theme.

The problem is, some, when opening on such things as iphones, get the
text cut off, like the top part of the text is not showing, etc.
Others, until they turn the phone sideways, it doesn't display the text
correctly.
How do I make sure the text looks correct for all, or at least most,
users on different devices?
Don't use PDF. The whole idea of PDF is to represent a physical page; it is not
intended to adapt to different screens of a large range of sizes. Is there some
reason for exporting to PDF?
