Hello Glide Community - my app isn’t very pretty on the desktop view, and I would rather have users use it on mobile anyway. Is there a way to prevent users from being able to use on desktop, or at least have a message / pop-up for users when they open on desktop that the app is not optimized for desktop and they should download the app? ---

You can have a hint and only show it on relevant screens when Device \> Screen Size is large. ![CleanShot 2025-09-11 at 07.44.19](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/6/6/660667d3c2191a87128bc33f9c03539e24a66352.png) ---
