We can use Platform service in Ionic library to check the host platform. Below are the codes:
import { Platform } from '@ionic/angular'; // first import this library
constructor(private plt: Platform) {
this.plt.ready().then(() => {
if (this.plt.is('android') || this.plt.is('ios')) {
console.log("running on Android or ios device!");
}
if (this.plt.is('mobileweb')) {
console.log("running in a browser on mobile!");
}
if (this.plt.is('desktop')) {
console.log("running on desktop");
}
});
}
