# Can Popups Be Disabled On Mobile Devices?

![file tVPSq63WIr](https://s3.amazonaws.com/helpscout.net/docs/assets/559c68b9e4b03e788eda1692/images/5ab43243042863478ea7d0e8/file-tVPSq63WIr.png)

By default, popups created with Popup Maker are designed to resize responsively. If you need to disable a popup only on a mobile device to comply with  [Google's Popup Policy for Mobile Devices](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=3&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwiX177gwaLSAhXKOSYKHRzfBTMQFggmMAI&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwebmasters.googleblog.com%2F2016%2F08%2Fhelping-users-easily-access-content-on.html&usg=AFQjCNErnorL56AVLvcRRjdKqEkeYwJxbQ&bvm=bv.147448319,d.eWE), then you can do so quickly and easily.

In the Popup Editor, go to the **'Popup Settings'** box, and open the **'Targeting'** option tab.  Locate the checkboxes at the bottom of the box and select either one. They are labeled: 

- 'Disable this popup on mobile devices', and 
- 'Disable this popup in tablet devices'. 

By default, each checkbox is 'unchecked'. A popup will display on both a mobile and tablet-sized screen unless that feature is turned 'off' ( checkbox = 'checked' ).
