_First time reporting a bug? [Refer to our Start Here post.](https://community.glideapps.com/t/start-here-reporting-platform-bugs-issues/40)_

Hi Guys,

I found out that opening apps in IPhone 17 Pro will not show up in Mobile Preview mode. It will show up as Desktop Preview mode.

I have an IPhone 14 Pro, the same App shows up properly in Mobile Preview mode.

Should be a bug.

Do you mean opening the app in a builder environment, on iPhone 17 Pro?

No, the App Builder is functioning as designed. What I meant is that on the actual iPhone device, the display launch differs. On the iPhone 17 Pro, it opens in **Desktop Preview mode** instead of launching in **Mobile Preview mode** , whereas on the iPhone 14 Pro, it correctly opens in **Mobile Preview mode** on the same App.

Are you sure the “Request Desktop Website” setting in your Safari isn’t turned on?

No, I checked. My setting on the iPhone 17 Pro is the same as what you have.

Most likely, it’s because the iPhone 17 Pro’s high resolution makes Glide treat it as an iPad-class device.

Is anyone aware if there would be a work around? It affects the experience of the users using it.

This behavior should ideally be handled by Glide itself, so I recommend contacting the Glide team about it.
