Find your user agent string on iPhone, Android, iPad, and tablets — with methods for every mobile browser
The easiest way is to visit an online user agent checker like SnapWhatIsMy.com in Safari. For developers, you can also use remote debugging: connect your iPhone to a Mac via USB, enable Web Inspector in iOS Settings → Safari → Advanced, then inspect the page from Safari on your Mac.
The quickest way to check your user agent on any mobile device — no developer tools, no apps, no setup. Simply open your browser and visit:
Or visit an online tool for the full UA string

Open Chrome on your Android device and type chrome://version in the address bar — your user agent is listed there. Alternatively, visit an online tool like SnapWhatIsMy.com. For developers, use chrome://inspect on your desktop Chrome with USB debugging enabled on the Android device.
Yes. Mobile user agents contain device-specific identifiers like 'iPhone', 'Android', or 'Mobile'. Chrome on Android adds 'Mobile' to the UA string, and iOS Safari includes 'iPhone' or 'iPad' with the iOS version. These differences let websites serve responsive or mobile-specific content.
On Android Chrome, you can use remote debugging from a desktop to override the UA via DevTools Network Conditions. Some Android browsers (like Firefox) support UA-changing extensions. On iOS, there's no built-in way — all browsers on iOS use WebKit and share similar UA strings.
Apple requires all iOS browsers to use WebKit as their rendering engine (App Store policy). So Chrome on iOS, Firefox on iOS, and Edge on iOS all report 'AppleWebKit' in their user agent. They differ in the 'CriOS' (Chrome), 'FxiOS' (Firefox), or 'EdgiOS' (Edge) tokens.
Mobile Chrome includes 'Mobile' in the UA string and shows the Android version (e.g., 'Android 14'). Desktop Chrome shows the OS (e.g., 'Windows NT 10.0'). The Chrome version number is the same on both platforms when updated.
Type about:version in Samsung Internet's address bar to see version information. For the full UA string, visit an online checker. Samsung Internet's UA includes 'SamsungBrowser/' followed by the version number, plus the underlying Chromium version.
