For a summary of mobile features, see Using Confluence on a Mobile Device. Below are additional notes that you will find useful.

Administrators can disable Confluence mobile on your site

The mobile functionality is provided by a plugin called the 'Confluence Mobile Plugin'. To remove the functionality from your site, you can disable the plugin.

Confluence mobile is a web interface, not a native app

Atlassian does not supply a native mobile application that you can download and install onto your mobile device. Confluence mobile is a web-based user interface that the Confluence server displays when it detects a mobile client.
