Can I use Overleaf on an iPad or other mobile devices?
Overleaf can be accessed through the browser on your iPad and other mobile devices, although some functionality may be limited. We’re still working on providing fuller support for mobiles and tablets.
If you run into any issues, try an alternative browser first to see if that helps.
Known issues and areas for improvement
While we’re working on improving how Overleaf works on mobile devices and tablets, there are some areas that are known not to perform as expected when compared with desktop and laptop devices. Some areas that have known issues are:
- The size of touch targets may not be optimal for all devices on all browsers. This may result in difficulty in selecting and clicking on some menus and other areas of the editor.
- Keyboard pop-up and zoom behavior when accessing some areas of the editor may not be as expected.
- The experience may be improved by collapsing the project files pane.
- Scrolling behavior can be inconsistent.
- General behavior of external keyboards and input methods (touchscreen and trackpads) may vary.
- Shortcuts or HotKeys might not be available.
- The behavior of the Overleaf PDF viewer may be restricted—if you run into PDF display issues, please try changing to the Browser viewer.
