Customizing Zendesk Chat Widget for Mobile Devices

Learn how to customize the Zendesk Chat widget for mobile devices, including appearance settings and mobile-specific options.

How can I customize the Zendesk Chat widget for mobile devices?

You can easily customize the Zendesk Chat widget for mobile devices to match your website's style. The appearance settings you configure for the desktop version, such as the Chat Window or Message Style, will also apply to the mobile widget. However, note that the Chat Badge and Minimized Chat Button settings won't be reflected in the mobile version.

To further tailor the mobile experience, you can choose between two specific appearance options: Chat Popout and Overlay Window. The Chat Popout option opens chats in a new tab, requiring visitors to switch tabs to continue their conversation. Alternatively, the Overlay Window opens chats in a pane within the same tab, allowing visitors to minimize the chat easily without leaving the page. For more details, visit theoriginal link.
