Hi @RobE
You can use window.navigator
property to expose the userAgent that’ll get you what you need.
So try doing console.log(window.navigator.userAgent)
. You can then hide/show elements on your page using Javascript/Jquery.
Hope this helps!

Hi @Malik
thank you for the info. I was able to read about the navigator functionality and it looks like it could work for me. I’m not a programmer and would like to understand the code better so i can midufy it by myself. Could you provide me an example of how this JS would works in unbounce?
Thank you!
Hey @RobE …
Here is a quick JS for you;
<script>
var userAgent = window.navigator.userAgent;
console.log(userAgent);
if (userAgent.search("Mac") > 0 ) {
$( "#lp-pom-text-398").hide(); //ID of whatever element you want to hide on Mac
} else if (userAgent.search("Windows") > 0) {
$( "#lp-pom-text-9" ).hide(); // //ID of element you want to hide on Windows
}
</script>
In this Javascript I am indetifying between Windows and Mac and displaying a message on the featured section accordingly.
You can see this in action here:

Hope that helps!
I’ll throw my input in here as well. I work with apps so I use this script all the time.
In my case I have multiple buttons that say “open in app” all stacked on each other in the builder and each button has it’s own url.
<script>
var isMobile = {
Android: function() {
return navigator.userAgent.match(/Android/i);
},
BlackBerry: function() {
return navigator.userAgent.match(/BlackBerry/i);
},
iOS: function() {
return navigator.userAgent.match(/iPhone|iPad|iPod/i);
},
Opera: function() {
return navigator.userAgent.match(/Opera Mini/i);
},
Windows: function() {
return navigator.userAgent.match(/IEMobile/i);
},
any: function() {
return (isMobile.Android() || isMobile.BlackBerry() || isMobile.iOS() || isMobile.Opera() || isMobile.Windows());
}
};
if(isMobile.iOS()){
$("#lp-pom-button-20").css('display', 'none');
$("#lp-pom-button-16").css('display', 'block');
}else if(isMobile.Android()){
$("#lp-pom-button-16").css('display', 'none');
$("#lp-pom-button-20").css('display', 'block');
}else{
$("#lp-pom-button-16").css('display', 'none');
$("#lp-pom-button-20").css('display', 'block');
}
</script>
Detecting mobile device using user agent isn’t the best way to check if a user is using a mobile device since user agent strings can be spoofed easily. However, this method is still an easy way to check what device is being used by the user.
There is a JavaScript API built-in for detecting media. The JavaScript window.matchMedia() method returns a MediaQueryList object representing the results of the specified CSS media query string. You can use this method to detect mobile device based on the CSS media query.
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
let isMobileDevice = window.matchMedia("only screen and (max-width: 760px)").matches;
if(isMobileDevice){
// The viewport is less than 768 pixels wide
//Conditional script here
} else{
//The viewport is greater than 700 pixels wide
alert("This is not a mobile device.");
}
});
</script>
You can use above script to do show/hide elements depending on the screen size.
