It tells me I’m an unknown client. Viewing from Jerboa on a Gigaset GX290 phone without an NLP provider or Google Play Services.

It says unknown (mobile?) client for me too, using Sync with Bluetooth and location enabled and Play Store Services installed.

Whoever wrote that image tracking over-hyped it?

The user-agent detection definitely isn’t great, this was just meant as a quick proof of concept for anyone curios.

It successfully identified Firefox when I checked it from the browser. Maybe some of the apps don’t identify themselves in the useragent string?

I’m also on jerboa, but a Samsung with GPS, and it also tells me unknown device. Must be jerboa
