Airtable desktop and mobile feature differences

Prev Next

Note

  • Our native apps do not support interface functionality on Android tablets (i.e. Samsung Galaxy Tab, Lenovo Tab, etc.). To access interface functionality on those devices, please navigate to Airtable via a mobile web browser instead.

  • iPad users (v10.24 onward) can access interfaces (with limited feature functionality) via Airtable’s native iOS app.

  • AI functionality is not available on the Airtable mobile experience.

The tables below detail which interface features are supported on Desktop/Browser, iOS, and Android. For a more in-depth dive into supported mobile interface functionality, please consult this support article.
