How to override Android keyboard popup to focus HTML element in Chrome

Question

I have a function that sets auto-focus an input in Chrome.

It works fine on desktop (macOS), but fails on when running on Android.

On Android a keyboard pops up, and I think I hijacks the event flow somehow.

Can I capture or reroute this event somehow in JS?

<input type="text" id="input">

...

function autoFocusInput () {
  this.shadowRoot.getElementById('input').focus();
}
