Can you inspect element on a Samsung tablet's default Internet application


Is there any way of inspecting element on a Samsung tablet using the default Internet Application? I have some bugs that need sorting that only appear in the native Samsung / Android 'Internet' application.


Solution

  • Samsung Internet can be debugged remotely using Chrome on the desktop. Any pages you have open in Samsung Internet should be listed for inspection under chrome://inspect:

    As Ada shared here, you can also enable port forwarding and connect to a server running on your desktop machine. You will need the Chrome app running on your desktop. If your localhost URL does not resolve, visit chrome://inspect and ensure port forwarding is enabled. You may also need to open the Chrome app on your mobile device.

    Update: There is a page in the Dev Hub docs about remote debugging here.
