I built a website that looks fine on all modern browsers on my computer, but someone reported that it doesn’t render correctly on Safari mobile view.
I tried using Safari on Windows, but the layout still looks fine, not matching the screenshot they shared, which clearly shows a UI issue.
Any tools or emulators you’d recommend for accurately checking how a website looks and behaves on Safari mobile?
I ran into this exact issue; the site looked fine on Chrome and Firefox, but someone flagged a broken layout on Safari mobile.
I signed up for LambdaTest, and it gave me access to real iOS devices and browsers, including different versions of Safari.
The Safari mobile view from LambdaTest showed me the exact problem with my CSS that wasn’t reproducible on Windows or emulators. Totally saved me.
What worked for me was spinning up the Safari mobile view through LambdaTest’s live testing feature.
I didn’t need to buy a Mac or use any local simulators , just opened up their browser-based dashboard and picked the iPhone + Safari combo I needed.
It even let me interact with the site and inspect elements. This really helped me validate breakpoints and touch responsiveness.
When I had to test a staging version of a client site on Safari mobile view, I used LambdaTest LT Tunnel feature to expose my local server securely.
It let me view my localhost React app on a real iPhone running Safari, right from my Windows machine.
That flexibility made cross-browser testing painless, especially for debugging those stubborn iOS-specific issues.
