It depends on finding particular strings in the device browser’s user agent string, like “Mobile” or “Android”. If your Acer tablet’s browser uses a generic desktop user agent, detecting it this way will not be possible. You can find lists of the user agents of various browsers by searching. * If there is something in the user agent that is unique to tablet browsers that you can identify, then you can use it to modify your conditional. Let’s say that unique string is “Tablet”. `wp_is_mobile()` does not pick up on this identifier, so modify your conditional like so: `` * Thread Starter [toad78](https://wordpress.org/support/users/toad78/) * (@toad78) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/modify-wp_is_mobile-function-to-detect-android-tablets/#post-7507064) * Okay. I’ll look into what type of agent it uses. But I’m curious if there is any online site that can tell you? For example, you can tell what your viewport size is by going to [http://viewportsizes.com/mine/](http://viewportsizes.com/mine/). Is there something similar to tell what kind of agent the tablet is using? * It’s not a big deal, but I am curious if there is a quicker method. * Moderator [bcworkz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bcworkz/) * (@bcworkz) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/modify-wp_is_mobile-function-to-detect-android-tablets/#post-7507108) * There probably is, but I couldn’t point you to one easily. You could browse your own site, then check the access logs. * You have your own server space, you could easily build your own page for this. Here’s the essential structure: * ``` My User Agent
