Just for reference for people who may not know, this is a recent version of how to get the platform. (Includes the recent-ish change with touchscreens) It’s pretty silly how many services and weird checks we have to use. & good point from mightybaseplate about the mac controls

local GuiService = game:GetService("GuiService")
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
function getplatform()
    if (GuiService:IsTenFootInterface()) then
        return "Console"
    elseif (UserInputService.TouchEnabled and not UserInputService.MouseEnabled) then
        --touchscreen computers now have touchenabled so make sure to check for lack of mouse too
		--also, not all phones/tablets have accelerometer and/or gyroscope
        local DeviceSize = workspace.CurrentCamera.ViewportSize; 
		if ( DeviceSize.Y > 600 ) then
			return "Mobile (tablet)"
		else
			return "Mobile (phone)"
		end
    else
        return "Desktop"
    end
end
