Browser Support
Ionic's earliest goal was to make it easy to develop mobile apps using web technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Because of this foundation in web technologies, Ionic can run anywhere the web runs — iOS, Android, browsers, PWAs, and more.
Mobile Browsers
In pursuit of adaptive styling, Ionic fully supports and is well tested on the mobile platforms listed below:
| Framework | Android | iOS |
|---|---|---|
| Ionic V5 | 5.0+ | 11.0+ |
| Ionic V4 | 4.4+ | 10.0+ |
note
Check the latest Android stats and the latest iOS stats for up-to-date platform information.
Desktop Browsers
Because Ionic is based on web technologies, it works just as well on desktop browsers as it does on mobile devices. For more information on desktop layouts, see Cross Platform.
| Browser | Ionic v5 | Ionic V4 |
|---|---|---|
| Chrome | ✔ | ✔ |
| Safari | ✔ | ✔ |
| Edge | 79+ | ✔ |
| Firefox | ✔ | ✔ |
| IE 11 | X | X |
note
Check the docs for Ionic Animations and Ionic Gestures for specific browser support related to those utilities.
