Known limitations
- User-Agent and HTTP headers sniffing is overall a non reliable method of detecting a mobile device.
- If the mobile browser is set on
Desktop mode, the Mobile Detect script has no way of knowing that the device ismobile. - There are hundreds of devices launched every month, we cannot keep a 100% up to date detection rate.
- Some touchscreen devices (eg. Microsoft Surface) are tough to detect as mobile since they can be used in a laptop mode.
- Detecting the device brand (eg. Apple, Samsung, HTC) is not 100% reliable.
- We don't monitor the quality of the 3rd party tools based on Mobile Detect script. We cannot guarantee that they are using the class properly or if they provide the latest version.
- Version
