How to Show Campaigns on Desktop and Mobile Devices

OptinMonster makes it easy to show campaigns on specific devices. You can create campaigns to target just mobile or non-mobile visitors and more.

In this article, you’ll learn how to show campaigns on desktop and mobile devices.

Before you start, device targeting is available with a Plus or higher subscription.

By default any campaign that is not mobile-only optimized will show on all devices.

You can create Mobile-only optimized campaigns with a Pro or higher subscription.

Important: If you are editing a mobile-only optimized campaign there will be no option to add a Device Targeting Display Rule. This is because mobile-only optimized campaigns are designed to show only on mobile phones. Learn more about mobile-only optimized campaigns here.

This article covers specific settings in the Display Rules. If you’re just getting started we recommend reading our general Display Rule documentation first.

FAQs

How do I target just mobile phones but not tablets?

Yes, MonsterLinks will always work and are the one exception to the device rule.

Why don’t I have the Device Targeting options in the Display Rules?

If your campaign is a Mobile-only campaign, no device targeting options will appear in the Display Rules. This is because Mobile-only campaigns will show on mobile phones by default with no option to change the device.

You can convert a Mobile-only campaign to a standard campaign if you prefer to show it on other devices.
