Disable Mobile site

Just curious if there is a way to always show the desktop view regardless of device type or browser type. I.E. mobile devices are presented with the desktop version first everytime. I don’t mind completely removing the mobile version either. thanks.

  • Used Zammad version: 6.5.0-1745936513.3cf99e05.noble
  • Used Zammad installation type: (source, package, docker-compose, …) Package
  • Operating system: Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS
  • Browser + version: Chrome 135.0.7049.115

Expected behavior:

Desktop view opens for every browser and device regardless of type.

Actual behavior:

Mobile devices redirect to mobile site.

You cannot disable nor remove the mobile view. For small devices you have zero benefit from the legacy web app in my opinion. It’s too much.

If you’re missing more or less important things on the mobile view, imho a feature request on this board would be the better approach. I mean yes, workarounding is a thing, but doesn’t improve the situation.

I’m curious: Why do you want it to default to the desktop view on mobile devices? Judging from @MrGeneration’s response, it does not seem like he thinks having that capability is useful due to how much is in the desktop UI and how small mobile screens are in comparison. I would tend to agree with him, but if there’s a specific purpose for which it would be better for your org’s needs for all mobile devices to default to the desktop view over the mobile one, I’m curious as to what it is.

Since this is the first result on Google when searching for “Zammad disable mobile interface,” I thought it might benefit from having a link to how one can switch back and forth without any janky hacks.

Link is broke lol. In case someone needs it: Mobile View — Zammad User Documentation documentation

No clue why you‘re linking to pre release instead of stable…

The documentation link imho doesn‘t answer or help this thread at all. It is not possible. Period.

You can switch in between the interfaces, but not disable it as OP asked for.

I was just fixing the link @EldonMcGuinness sent to go where they intended.

My comment wasn‘t directed towards you, I understood your intention. :slight_smile:

LOL sorry about that, literally copied and pasted the link, so no idea what happened. Cheers for that!

Well, I guess it depends on how you understand “Disable Mobile Site.” Once you turn off mobile view on a device, it will continue to go to the desktop version of the site going forward on the device. That seems pretty on topic to me.

Feel free to remove it, if you think it is not.
