How to Emulate Mobile User Agents for Ad Testing at Scale (TikTok, Facebook & More)

Running ads on platforms like TikTok and Facebook in 2025 often requires mobile-specific behavior. Many campaigns are flagged or underperform simply because your browser doesn’t match the expected mobile fingerprint.

In this guide, we explain how to properly emulate mobile user agents using Multilogin — the most reliable tool to simulate mobile browsers with unique profiles and proxy support, especially for performance marketers and developers.

Why Mobile Emulation Matters in Ad Ops

Mobile traffic dominates platforms like:

• TikTok (90%+ users via app or mobile browser)
• Facebook mobile feeds and ad placements
• Instagram, Snapchat, and native app networks

Running ads from a desktop browser profile can trigger quality score issues, low impressions, or even account review. Mobile emulation solves that by mimicking:

• Device resolution and screen size
• Touch behavior and sensor API
• Mobile-specific user agents
• Geolocation & connection type (e.g., 4G, mobile proxy)

Multilogin’s Advantage in Mobile Profile Emulation

Unlike generic browser switchers, Multilogin allows deep mobile spoofing on a per-profile level:

🧠 1. Realistic Mobile Fingerprints

Simulate Android or iOS environments including WebGL, Canvas, AudioContext, and battery API – not just a fake user-agent string.

🌍 2. Proxy Match & Geo Accuracy

Assign 4G or mobile proxies to each mobile-emulated profile for real-world ad testing across regions (US, UK, SEA, etc.).

🔁 3. Session Isolation

Test multiple ad variations or accounts without cross-contamination or fingerprint overlap.

🧪 4. Automation via API

Launch mobile-like browser profiles from your backend or test script, enabling scalable A/B testing for creatives and landing pages.
