iOS email client testing

4.9k Views Asked by At

I made an email HTML template. It is developed using some tables with 2 columns. If I watch this email with some clients in different devices everithing looks good. But if I watch the email with an iPhone (of my friend) my template become 1 column, images become bigger, tables with border and some other problems. I don't have an apple device, so testing is very difficult. what I'm asking here is if exist a way to emulate the iOS mail client or other any suggestions are appreciate. Thanks

Look into using Google Chrome. It's based on webkit, an open source browser engine which is also what IOS uses to render emails.

When you use Inspect mode, it gives you a list of devices it can emulate. I can't verify right now that it's the same list for Windows or linux. It's close.

It's not a replacement for using actual devices or a services like Email on Acid or Litmus, but it gets you some feedback on how your design looks on other devices and it's free.

Good luck.

Confirmed: I finally got Windows 10 working and I can confirm that Google Chrome allows you to Inspect your code and emulate the look on an iPhone, iPad, Galaxy or Pixel device. You can customize to add specific devices (if available).

I have used this a lot! And it works really well!

Really nice tool to check what's compatible in different e-mail clients.
