How to detect if Player is using a Phone?

Update: UserInputService has a cool feature UserInputService.TouchEnabled

local userInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")

if userInputService.TouchEnabled then
	print("The user's device has a touchscreen!")
else
	print("The user's device does not have a touchscreen!")
end

which is good enough to detect touch enabled devices

I feel like @skyblox7862’s solution is much more reliable.

local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")

local function checkDeviceType()
    local screenSize = workspace.CurrentCamera.ViewportSize
    if screenSize.X >= 1024 and screenSize.Y >= 768 then
        return "iPad or larger tablet"
    elseif screenSize.X >= 800 and screenSize.Y >= 480 then
        return "Phone with a larger screen"
    else
        return "Smaller phone"
    end
end

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
    if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Touch then
        local deviceType = checkDeviceType()
        print("User is using a " .. deviceType)
    elseif input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard then
        print("User is using a keyboard")
    end
end)

Edit: Dang, that solved was quick. Didn’t have time to dig through my stuff. My bad.

Mikhali Yes, I understand Bluestacks exists. At one time knowing this was important, I even made an offset plugin so all my GUIs would work on any screen. However while I was creating that plugin I figured out how this was really done. This is still useful for other reasons and why I had problems finding it. It is buried in my not so useful pile…

For those looking to achieve what I stared doing here, creating generic GUIs … Here is a 1:11 video on how to make your GUIs fit any device. Yes, it is short and believe it or not it actually works.

In this video you will see him setting a very small GUI … more of a popup. The trick to this is, is to set every single frame, button and picture (basically anything with a size and location) the way he will show you.
