Canvas Mobile

Canvas is built on open web standards, and most features are supported on mobile devices. With the growing use of mobile devices, instructors should build their courses with best practices for mobile users in mind.

Mobile Browsers

You can access Canvas on your mobile device through any mobile browser. However, mobile browsers are not officially supported. Canvas has been optimized for desktop browsers. The best experience on mobile devices is by using the Canvas apps (student and teacher). See the limited-support mobile guidelines for more information.

Mobile Applications

Instructure is actively improving their native mobile applications to support as many Canvas features as possible. Canvas has two native mobile applications free for download on both phones and tablets. Please note that mobile applications are only supported in English at this time. Mobile App Guides
