Using Confluence on a Mobile Device

When you view a Confluence page on a mobile device, such as an iPhone or an iPad, Confluence will display an optimised version of the page. Confluence chooses the mobile or desktop interface based on your device. See Supported Platforms for details of supported mobile devices.

On your phone or other supported mobile device, you can:

View the Confluence dashboard, pages, blog posts, and user profiles.
Add a comment to a page or blog post.
Like a page, blog post or comment.
Manage your personal tasks and notifications.

You cannot add or edit pages or blog posts, or edit existing comments, using the mobile interface.

The dashboard – the first thing you see
