Google Chrome is my default web browser in all my devices, in this post I'll share with you how to use the console on your mobile devices.
Let's Start.
Android
1 - Enable Developer mode by going to Settings > About phone then tap on Build number 7 times.
2 - Enable USB Debugging from Developer Options.
3 - On your desktop, open DevTools click on more icon then More Tools > Remote Devices.
4 - Check on Discover USB devices option.
5 - Open chrome on your phone.
6 - Plug your phone via USB, then you will see an authorization popup click OK.
7 - You will be able to see your phone tabs and Inspect them.
iOS And Others
Just open new tab and type: chrome://inspect
, then click on Start logging button, then visit the page that you want to debug.
I hope this helps you 🙏

Hello Everyone,
How can we do this for IOS or MAC???
Thank You!
What's the need for this?
sometimes the page works everywhere excerpt mobile browser.
Instructions as of February 2021:
Open Chrome app in your mobile phone and tap on 3-dots menu and select Settings option.
It'll open Chrome Settings page.
Scroll down to bottom and under "Advanced" section, tap on About Chrome option.
Tap on "Application version" 7 times to enable developer mode.
This worked for me Feb 22.
And after that? How do you open the developer tools. I can't find it anywhere.
It's only April but something must have changed.
There is no "Advanced" in the menu, but I found the version under "Google Chrome" and tapped on it and saw "copied" 7 times, and then nothing happened.
EDIT: After making an error happen, I did start seeing log info in 'chrome://inspect'. I am not sure the Advanced/tapping is even necessary.
I haven't seen the discover USB devices
On new chrome version you can find it on:
chrome://inspect/#devices
Win10, Android 9 - doesn't work for me, nothing happens when plugging in. USB debugging is on. What now?
Edit: It's a Samsung, maybe that's why

Changing USB connection mode to "Audio Source" while everything was connected worked for me (Win10, Android 8.0).
