With Privacy Sandbox, an origin trial is in progress for reduced User-Agent strings, designed to remove sensitive information which may be used for fingerprinting.
A browser’s User-Agent string (UA) helps identify which browser is being used, what version, and on which operating system. When feature detection APIs are not available, use the UA to customize behavior or content to specific browser versions.
Like all other browsers, Chrome for Android sends this information in the User-Agent HTTP header every time it makes a request to any site. It’s also available in the client through JavaScript using the navigator.userAgent call.
# Chrome for Android
Chrome for Android reports its UA in the following formats, depending on whether the device is a phone or a tablet.
Phone UA:
Tablet UA:
Here’s an example of the Chrome user agent string on a Galaxy Nexus:
If you are parsing user agent strings using regular expressions, the following can be used to check against Chrome on Android phones and tablets:
The UA in Chrome for iOS is the same as the Mobile Safari user agent, with CriOS/ instead of Version/ .
Here’s an example of the Chrome UA on iPhone:
For comparison, the Mobile Safari UA:
Up to Chrome 84, when the Request Desktop Site feature is enabled, the Desktop Safari UA is sent:
Starting from Chrome 85, when the Request Desktop Site feature is enabled, the UA is the same as the Desktop Safari UA with CriOS/ being added:
# WebView on Android
The Android 4.4 (KitKat) Chromium-based WebView adds Chrome/_version_ to the user agent string.
WebView UA in KitKat to Lollipop
If you’re attempting to differentiate between the WebView and Chrome for Android, you should look for the presence of the Version/_X.X_ string in the WebView user-agent string. Don’t rely on the specific Chrome version number (for example, 30.0.0.0) as the version numbers changes with each release.
WebView UA in Lollipop and Above
In the newer versions of WebView, you can differentiate the WebView by looking for the wv field as highlighted below.

List of User Agent strings
Published: 23 October 2018
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.
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.
