Airtable desktop and mobile feature differences

Last updated: September 17, 2026

  • 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.
