Airtable desktop and mobile feature differences
Airtable apps do not support interface functionality on Android tablets (Samsung Galaxy Tab, Lenovo Tab, etc.). To access interface functionality on those devices, please use Airtable via a mobile web browser.
iPad users (v10.24+) can access interfaces (with limited feature functionality) via Airtable’s iOS app.
