Secure context: This feature is available only in secure contexts (HTTPS), in some or all supporting browsers.

The Sec-CH-UA-Mobile user agent client hint request header indicates whether the browser is on a mobile device. It can also be used by a desktop browser to indicate a preference for a "mobile" user experience.

Sec-CH-UA-Mobile is a low entropy hint. Unless blocked by a user agent permission policy, it is sent by default, without the server opting in by sending Accept-CH.

Syntax

Sec-CH-UA-Mobile: <boolean>

Directives

<boolean>

?1 indicates that the user-agent prefers a mobile experience (true). ?0 indicates that user-agent does not prefer a mobile experience (false).

Examples

As Sec-CH-UA-Mobile is a low entropy hint it is typically sent in all requests.

A desktop browser would usually send requests with the following header:

Sec-CH-UA-Mobile: ?0

A browser on a mobile device would usually send requests with the following header:

Sec-CH-UA-Mobile: ?1
