Allow the use of Webstudio on mobile devices.

At a glance

The community member uses an iPad Pro to develop websites and is excited to use Webstudio on it. They can inspect elements and remove the element blocking them from editing their site natively on mobile, but it's a hassle. They would like to disable the popup altogether.

The comments explain that Webstudio blocks unsupported browsers because there are many bugs, and the iPad is a closed ecosystem where only Safari is allowed, which Webstudio doesn't officially support. The comments also mention that touch devices require optimizations that Webstudio hasn't focused on and don't have a high priority currently. Overall, the community members don't expect a great experience using Webstudio on an iPad, and this is unlikely to change soon.

Some community members suggest allowing users to click a button to dismiss the popup and continue editing on a non-supported version, or adding a setting to enable Webstudio on mobile. However, others note that this could lead to unnecessary bug reports. One community member provides a way to disable the unsupported browser screen by setting a flag in the local storage.

There is no explicitly marked answer in the comments.

I use an iPad pro to develop my websites and I am excited to use Webstudio on it. I can inspect element and remove the element blocking me from editing my site natively on mobile but it can be a bit of a hassle and just disabling the popup all together would help a whole ton 🤗

We block the unsupported browsers because there are many bugs on them and we don't want you to have bad experience. Ipad is a closed ecosystem, only safari is allowed, which we currently don't officially support.

More so touch devices have a lot of needed optimizations which we didn't focus on, and I am afraid don't have the highest priority right now.

Overall you are not gonna have gret time on ipad and its not gonna change soon.
I completely understand the reasoning on why blocking mobile is required. Though (just as a suggestion) allow the user to click a button and dismiss the popup and let them continue editing on a non-supported version.
They will ignore what we say, get the bugs, come back angry at us
True, maybe if User Settings comes out, there could be a switch that allows the use of webstudio on mobile.
All ideas, definitely would create some unnecessary bug reports no matter what.
for hackers I can tell a way to turn. it off
there is a flag one can set on local storage to disable that screen
localStorage.features = "unsupportedBrowsers"
this will disable that screen
Yep, I can just make a bookmarkable on safari when it comes down to it. I can see why not to add any native mobile support for the time being. Thanks anyway!
