Does anyone know where documentation is for how to access ArcGIS Experiences on mobile? I can find a lot of documentation on how to prepare ArcGIS Experience builder for mobile but I can't find anything on how to view them on mobile. Is it just supposed to be in a web browser? Or do we build our own app in the app store? Is it possible to implement an ArcGIS Experience in Field Maps?

Thank you.

Experience Builder is kind of a web page builder. Experiences are designed to be opened in the web browser, including on mobile devices. The mobile-friendly builder is more about accommodating different screen sizes for the web pages.

Dashboards, Instant Apps, Experiences etc are designed to be accessed through the web browser. They offer a different build/design experience for you, tailored towards the web page purpose.

ArcGIS Field Maps is a dedicated mobile application. You design the map in Web Map Viewer and then can further the configuration in the ArcGIS Field Maps web app companion e.g. disable bulk editing.

It's possible to use the same web map in Field Maps and in Experience Builder but you have to consider who and how the data is accessed.

Thank you for such an informative response, this is really helpful.

You woudn't know if there are any plans to make ArcGIS Experiences accessible in Field Maps or a dedicated ESRI App or will it always intended be used on a mobile browser?

Not an Esri rep but as far as I'm aware there have been no plans to announce a dedicated software app for the 'web applications'. They are website building tools, and have been optimized to allow us to design for mobile, table and desktop web browsing experiences.

The dedicated apps are largely for field data collection. Field Maps (map), Survey123 (form) and QuickCapture (button).
