If you are running experiments and want to test them on a mobile device view, a very easy method to do this is by using the Developer Tools of the browser you are using.
For example, for Google Chrome browser you can either right click once you are on your website and select Inspect.
An alternative would be to press on the 3 dots button on the top right of your browser, go to More tools option, and select Developer tools.
Or you can access the Developer tools by either pressing F12 or Ctrl+Shift+I.
This will open up the Console. From here you can press the Toggle device toolbar button which change the view to a mobile version.
This is what the Mobile View will look like.
This is a very useful option for testing your experiments prior to releasing them to your website traffic.
