What this tool does
This tool identifies the device and software details from a user agent string. A user agent is a text label that browsers and apps send when they connect to a website. The platform reads this label to find out what kind of device is being used, such as a smartphone or a desktop computer, and which operating system or browser is running.
Common uses
