When you’re testing a website intended for the iPhone and iPad on a desktop computer, if the device detection script on a server recognizes that you’re using a browser on a computer, it doesn’t show you the phone version.
- The latest user agents for Chrome. Google Chrome runs on a variety of operating systems and platforms, so while the version number tends to be fairly similar across platforms, the actual structure of it can be quite varied. Here we have the latest user agents for Chrome on a variety of popular platforms. Please note that these are very 'stock-standard' Chrome user agents and certainly don't.
- Question: Q: Safari User-agent. This site contains user submitted content, comments and opinions and is for informational purposes only. Apple may provide or recommend responses as a possible solution based on the information provided; every potential issue may involve several factors not detailed in the conversations.
- Safari UA string. In this example, the user agent string is mobile Safari’s version. It contains the word 'Mobile'. Examples Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 1351 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/13.1.1 Mobile/15E148 Safari/604.1 Internet Explorer UA string Examples.
That’s where user agent switching enters the picture. Safari includes special features that make it possible to change the user agent. To activate the User Agent Switcher, in Safari, follow these steps:
1Click on the Gear shift icon, shown in the top right corner of the Safari web browser, to open the General Menu.
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10111) AppleWebKit/601.2.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/9.0.1 Safari/601.2.4 facebookexternalhit/1.1 Facebot Twitterbot/1.0 When I've modified my RegEx to fit this User-Agent, the iMessage crawler was finally re-routed to the correct location.
2Choose Preferences.
These are also shown in the figure from the last step.
3Click to select the check box labeled Show Develop Menu in Menu Bar.
The cursor is pointing to it in this figure. The Develop menu option is added to the top menu bar.
If you don’t see the menu at the top of the Safari web browser, be sure to select the Show Menu Bar option from the general menu. When this option is selected, the name changes to Hide Menu Bar and the menu is visible at the top of the browser.
4Click the Develop menu option and select User Agent→<user agent>.
This opens a list of profiles.
5Open any web page to see how it displays with the selected profile.
In the figure the iPhone profile is selected and the Facebook web page displays in a narrow column aligned to the left — the version of the page that’s optimized for the iPhone. You see how to resize the browser window in combination with the user agent to create a general idea of how the page will display on an iPhone.
The User-Agent (UA) string is contained in the HTTP headers and is intended to identify devices requesting online content. The User-Agent tells the server what the visiting device is (among many other things) and this information can be used to determine what content to return. Of course this requires using a device detection solution which translates UAs into understandable software and hardware information.
We go into a lot more detail, and examine what makes up a UA, and how you can use user-agent parsing to your advantage, in our article User-Agent Parsing: How It Works And How Can It Be Used.
User-Agent list for different device types
There are millions of User-Agent combinations given that UAs change with the software and hardware. For example, a Chrome browser on an iPhone 6 will introduce itself using a different UA than a Safari browser on the same phone.
Every device type, including phones, tablets, desktops, may come with its own UA that makes it possible to detect this device for any purpose. Interestingly bots and crawlers also come with their unique UAs.
Here is a list of example User-Agents for different device types that can be detected. If you’d like to learn more on these devices, just copy and paste the UAs to our User-Agent testing tool. You’ll see all the properties of a detected device.

iPhone User Agents
Below are examples of User Agent strings used by the most popular iPhone devices. As Apple do not pass much info through the User Agent, version numbers don't allow us differentiate between iPhone models.
However, with DeviceAtlas client-side, you can classify these user agents to return correct device model.
Download our free e-book on User Agents to learn:
- What is a User Agent?
- How do you parse them?
- What can you do with them?
