How to detect if browser is running on an Android or iOS device with JavaScript?
To detect if browser is running on an Android or iOS device with JavaScript, we check the user agent.
For instance, we write
const isMobile = {
android() {
return /Android/i.test(navigator.userAgent);
},
iOS() {
return /iPhone|iPad|iPod/i.test(navigator.userAgent);
},
};
to check if the page is loaded in a browser on Android with /Android/i.test(navigator.userAgent);.
And we check if the page is loaded in a browser on Android with /iPhone|iPad|iPod/i.test(navigator.userAgent).
navigator.userAgent has the user agent string.
