Identifying Facebook Mobile

Open anderschbe opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

It's an edge case, as the facebook app tends to use the browsers available on the device for external links (works fine on Android devices). But it seems this is not the case if used on IPhones. As a result it's possible for any web app to be displayed via "facebook mobile" if linked there from the app.

Would it be possible for this detection to be added to bowserjs?

window.navigator.userAgent of the browser is: see https://developers.whatismybrowser.com/useragents/explore/software_name/facebook-app/

Hi @anderschbe. Check out the #140 issue, please. It seems to be related to that one in general. It would be possible to come up with some solution, but I'm afraid I don't have much time to develop it. Only if somebody could help me out with arranging and systemizing all the knowledge about how different FB can mark their stuff in UA strings :)
