Developer Tools

Web Inspector

Web Inspector adds mobile Safari tools for examining page structure, scripts, requests and browser storage.

Our take

Pick it for debugging a webpage directly on an iPhone or iPad

DOM editing and a JavaScript console make it possible to investigate a mobile-only issue on the affected browser.

Keep in mind: Edits change the inspected page session, not the original server files; a reload may be needed after enabling the tool.

What you can do

  • DOM styles and HTML inspection
  • JavaScript console and highlighted source
  • Request details cookies and local storage inspection

Good for

  • Web developers investigating pages they are authorized to inspect

Consider alternatives for

  • Users expecting it to publish server changes or replace a complete desktop toolchain

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 15.0.
  • Edits change the inspected page session, not the original server files; a reload may be needed after enabling the tool.

Privacy & permissions

Inspection can expose cookies, response content and tokens; keep copied requests private and check extension access permissions.
