Using the Desktop View on Mobile Devices
Web browsers on mobile devices display Kintone in a mobile-optimized view.
However, the mobile view has functional restrictions on apps and space settings.
For details on restricted features, see Restrictions in the Mobile View.
To use a mobile device to perform the same actions as those on a PC, you can switch to the desktop view.
