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.

PDF really is the best option, but as mentioned, I'm having some issues
with the fonts on the iphone.

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

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?
