This is not a bug as the intermediate IOU data is only saved in Browser.

You need to modify website URL dynamically and then pass amount along with URL to mobile.
What I mean:

1. Dynamically change URL to the next one: https://staging.new.expensify.com/request/new/amount?value=. You can do that using JS. (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11932869/how-to-dynamically-change-url-without-reloading). So whenever user edits amount you need to modify the URL.
2. Handle value in mobile using deep links: https://developer.android.com/training/app-links/deep-linking#handling-intents for Android native development or https://reactnavigation.org/docs/configuring-links/#passing-params for React Native
