Using UI Steps on Phones

UI Steps can be executed on phones. Since a mobile website may differ from the web version, make sure to address its Elements in the correct order as seen on the mobile version.

Before executing a UI Steps using a mobile device, its screen must be unlocked so that intaQt can access the device. This can be done manually, or by changing the settings via: Settings -> Security -> Screen Security -> Screen Lock or Automatically lock.
