A mobile antidetect is not a desktop profile
We do not ship Android or iPhone. Desktop profiles only. This is the one mobile piece, and it exists to stop a phone costume from being sold as the product.

We do not ship Android. We do not ship iPhone. MaskWright profiles model desktop OS families. Client Hints report mobile: false. That is the product. This page exists so a phone user agent is not sold as a local profile.
The category is full of cloud phones and mobile user-agent packs. Those are other products. I will name the line and stop. Authorized work only. A fake phone does not authorize a login you do not own.
This is the one mobile note in Antidetect browsers. It is a refusal, not a how-to for dressing a Windows box as a handset.
What a desktop profile actually is
A Windows (or macOS, or Linux) fingerprint preset. Screen metrics that look like a monitor. Max touch points defaulting to 0. Battery API as a plugged-in desktop. GPU strings that should rhyme with a PC. What an antidetect browser is assumes that object.
Custom Chromium versus system Chrome still applies. The binary is a desktop Chromium. Putting "iPhone" in the user agent does not change GL_VENDOR, fonts, or touch.
I have watched people paste a mobile UA into a desktop launch and then act surprised when Client Hints and navigator.userAgentData still said desktop. MaskWright's uaMetadata sets mobile: false on purpose.
| Object | What it is | In MaskWright? |
|---|---|---|
| Desktop profile | Isolated PC browser | Yes |
| Mobile UA on desktop | Mismatch | Not a phone |
| Mobile proxy | Carrier exit | You can attach one |
| Cloud phone | Rented Android | No |
| Real phone you hold | A device | Use the device |
Cloud phones are a different purchase
A rented Android in someone else's rack holds the session off-box. Browser-as-a-service risks apply. We will not review phone fleets. Agencies that need a real device should use a real device they control, plus platform roles.
A virtual machine versus antidetect is still a desktop split. A VM is not a phone either.
Ghost Browser is multi-session Chrome. Also not a phone. A proxy browser changes the exit. A carrier proxy on a desktop profile is a carrier exit on a desktop browser. Useful for some lookups. Not an iPhone.
SEO and "mobile results"
SEO research people ask this constantly. If you need the phone SERP, pick up a phone. Emulated width plus a mobile UA is a lab view. It is not what Google's phone crawler or a user's handset sees in full.
If you only needed to see how a responsive layout wraps, Chrome DevTools on a desktop profile is cheaper and more honest.
What you can attach without lying
A mobile (carrier) HTTP or SOCKS5 line on a desktop profile. The site sees a carrier ASN. The browser still looks like a PC. Say that out loud before you treat the launch as a handset.
Do not pair a mobile ASN with a Windows UA and call it consistent. Do not pair an iPhone UA with a d3d11 GPU. Coherence is the job. Costume packing is how checkers fail.
What I tell people who paste an iPhone UA anyway
Client Hints, navigator.userAgentData, touch points, and the GPU string will not follow the costume unless every layer was built for a phone. Ours were not. You will get a desktop Chromium that claims to be a handset in one field and a PC in four others. Checkers love that.
A carrier proxy is the honest mobile-adjacent option: the street looks like a carrier, the body looks like a PC. Say it that way. If the authorized job is the Instagram app, buy a phone or accept a hosted device and its custody. Do not ask Windows 11 to be iOS.
I will not publish a "mobile preset" table. That table would be a how-to for a mismatch.
FAQ
Can I set a mobile user agent in MaskWright?
The product models desktop OS families. I will not document a phone costume. If a field lets you type a UA, coherence is still your problem.
Do you plan cloud phones?
Not in the code we audited. Desktop profiles only.
Is a mobile proxy enough to look like a phone?
No. It is an exit type. The browser is still a desktop Chromium. Use a real device when the job is a real device.
