What browsers are supported in Canvas?
This FAQ will help make sure your browser works well with Canvas.
Answer
For best performance, Instructure products should be used on the current or previous major releases of Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari. Because Instructure products are built using web standards, Instructure products run on Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android, or any other device with a modern web browser.
Instructure products are optimized for desktop displays. If using a mobile device, you may use the dedicated app or access Canvas using a built-in mobile browser (Safari for iOS, Chrome for Android).
The Canvas mobile apps require Android 9.0 or later and iOS 18.0 or later. Canvas offers limited support for built-in mobile browsers (such as Safari or Chrome) on tablet devices. For additional details, please reference the limited-support mobile browser guidelines.
