Know exactly which browsers and devices work with UniLink before you build — and what your visitors need to see your page.
- The UniLink dashboard requires a modern browser (Chrome 90+, Firefox 88+, Safari 14+, Edge 90+) and a stable internet connection of at least 5 Mbps for video blocks.
- Visitor pages at unil.ink work on any modern browser — visitors do not need an account or app.
- Internet Explorer 11 and older Android/iOS versions are not supported for dashboard use; mobile visitors on older devices can still view most page types.
UniLink runs entirely in the browser — there's nothing to install, no desktop app, and no mandatory plugins. That's a feature, not a limitation: your link-in-bio page is accessible to virtually any visitor with a smartphone or laptop. But the dashboard where you build and manage your page does require a reasonably current browser and device to function correctly. Understanding these requirements upfront saves time troubleshooting unexpected behavior later.
What System Requirements Cover
System requirements for UniLink split into two distinct categories: what you need to use the dashboard at app.unilink.us, and what your visitors need to view your page at unil.ink/username. These requirements are intentionally different. The dashboard uses modern web APIs for drag-and-drop editing, real-time analytics rendering, and block preview — features that depend on capabilities only newer browsers support. Visitor pages are built to be as broadly compatible as possible, because you cannot control what browser your followers use.
For the dashboard, the supported browser minimum versions are: Chrome 90 or later, Firefox 88 or later, Safari 14 or later, and Microsoft Edge 90 or later. On mobile, dashboard access requires iOS 14 or later (Safari or Chrome) or Android 10 or later (Chrome). These minimums correspond roughly to browsers released in early 2021, which covers the overwhelming majority of actively-used devices worldwide. If your browser is set to auto-update — the default on all four supported browsers — you are almost certainly running a version well above these minimums.
Internet speed requirements depend on which blocks you use. A basic link-in-bio page with text and images loads comfortably on a 2 Mbps connection. If your page includes video blocks or you are using the dashboard's live preview while editing video content, a connection of at least 5 Mbps is recommended. Dashboard performance for accounts with large product catalogs or high-resolution image uploads benefits from 10 Mbps or faster. These are soft guidelines rather than hard cutoffs — slower connections still work but may experience delays during uploads and previews.
How to Get Started
- Open your browser and navigate to app.unilink.us. If the page loads and the login form renders correctly, your browser meets the minimum requirements.
- Check your browser version if you encounter display issues. In Chrome, go to Menu → Help → About Google Chrome. In Firefox: Menu → Help → About Firefox. In Safari: Apple menu → About This Mac → Software. In Edge: Menu → Help and Feedback → About Microsoft Edge.
- If your browser version is below the minimum, update it. All four supported browsers update automatically by default — simply relaunch the browser to apply any pending updates.
- If you're using a work device with IT-managed browser restrictions, contact your IT department. Some enterprise environments lock browser versions below the UniLink minimum; using a personal device or browser profile resolves this.
- Test your connection speed at speedtest.net if you're editing video blocks and experiencing buffering. A result above 5 Mbps download confirms your connection is sufficient.
How to Use System Requirements
- Before setting up UniLink on a new device, confirm the OS version. On iPhone/iPad go to Settings → General → About to check iOS version; on Android go to Settings → About Phone → Android Version.
- For the best dashboard experience on mobile, use the device in landscape orientation and ensure your browser's desktop mode is disabled. The dashboard is optimized for its responsive mobile layout, not a desktop emulation mode.
- If you manage UniLink for a client on a shared or older computer, test the dashboard in Chrome first — it has the broadest compatibility and is the primary tested browser.
- To verify that your visitor page looks correct on older devices, use the Preview feature inside the dashboard. Switch between Mobile and Desktop preview modes to check layout without needing a second device.
- For agencies building pages on behalf of clients, document which browser and device you used to build the page. If a client reports a display issue, the first troubleshooting step is confirming they are also on a supported browser.
Key Settings
| Setting | What It Does | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| Browser Auto-Update | Keeps your browser at the latest version automatically | Leave enabled — prevents compatibility issues |
| JavaScript | Required for the dashboard to function; must be enabled | Enabled by default in all supported browsers |
| Cookies and Local Storage | Used for session authentication and dashboard preferences | Allow for app.unilink.us in browser settings |
| Hardware Acceleration | Uses GPU for smoother rendering of the page builder | Keep enabled unless you experience visual glitches |
| Browser Extensions | Ad blockers and privacy extensions can interfere with the dashboard | Disable or whitelist app.unilink.us if issues occur |
Get the Most Out Of System Requirements
Keeping your browser updated is the single most effective step you can take to ensure a smooth dashboard experience. Browser updates don't just add features — they fix rendering bugs, improve JavaScript performance, and patch security vulnerabilities. Because UniLink's dashboard uses several modern web APIs including the Clipboard API for block duplication and the File System Access API for bulk image uploads, falling behind on browser updates can silently break features that other users report as working fine.
Mobile dashboard access is fully supported on iOS 14+ and Android 10+, but the experience is optimized for the editing tasks most practical on mobile: reordering blocks, updating text, toggling visibility, and checking analytics. Complex tasks like configuring e-commerce products, setting up integrations, or editing advanced design settings are easier on a larger screen with a keyboard. UniLink doesn't enforce this — you can do everything on mobile — but if you find yourself frustrated on a phone, switching to a desktop browser for that specific task usually resolves it.
For your visitors, the bar is intentionally low. UniLink pages at unil.ink/username are statically rendered and progressively enhanced, meaning the core content — your links, bio, and images — loads even on browsers that don't support every modern JavaScript API. Visitors on older Android devices, basic mobile browsers, or even desktop browsers that are a few versions behind your minimum will still see your page correctly. The only visitor-facing features that require a more capable browser are embedded video autoplay (requires a relatively modern mobile browser) and certain interactive block types like countdown timers.
If you are building UniLink pages for audiences in regions where older Android devices are more common — many parts of Southeast Asia, Africa, and Latin America have high rates of Android 8 and 9 usage — test your page on Chrome for Android in a lower-end device simulator. The Chrome DevTools device emulator (F12 → Toggle Device Toolbar) lets you test at common older device resolutions and connection speeds without needing the physical hardware, giving you confidence that your page works for your full audience before you publish.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Dashboard blocks don't load or appear blank | JavaScript is disabled or a browser extension is blocking scripts | Check that JavaScript is enabled, disable extensions one by one, or test in incognito mode |
| Drag-and-drop block reordering doesn't work | Browser version below minimum, or touch events not supported in current mode | Update your browser; on tablets, ensure you're not in desktop emulation mode |
| Video blocks buffer constantly while editing | Connection speed below 5 Mbps or hardware acceleration disabled | Run a speed test; enable hardware acceleration in browser settings |
| Login session expires immediately after signing in | Cookies blocked for app.unilink.us by browser privacy settings | Allow cookies for app.unilink.us in browser privacy settings; disable "block all third-party cookies" for this site |

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use UniLink on my iPad or Android tablet?
Yes. iPads running iPadOS 14 or later and Android tablets running Android 10 or later are fully supported for dashboard use. Use Safari or Chrome on iPad, and Chrome on Android tablets. For the best experience, use landscape orientation and the browser's standard mobile layout rather than "Request Desktop Site" mode.
Do my visitors need to download an app to see my UniLink page?
No. Your unil.ink/username page is a standard web page that opens in any browser. Visitors don't need a UniLink account, don't need to download anything, and don't need to be logged in. It works the same way any website does.
What happens if I use an unsupported browser?
The dashboard may partially work but some features — drag-and-drop, file uploads, real-time preview — may behave incorrectly or not at all. UniLink doesn't explicitly block unsupported browsers, but support is not provided for issues that occur on them. Updating to a supported version resolves the vast majority of dashboard complaints.
Is there a UniLink mobile app?
UniLink is a web-based platform and the dashboard is accessed through the browser at app.unilink.us. There is no separate native app to install. The mobile-optimized dashboard in your phone's browser covers the most common editing tasks effectively.
My company's IT policy locks us to an older browser version. What can I do?
Contact your IT department and share the minimum browser version requirements. If they cannot update the managed browser, try using a personal browser profile or a different browser that IT allows to self-update. Chrome and Edge both support multiple profiles, so you can keep a personal profile on a managed device for tools like UniLink.
- Dashboard requires Chrome 90+, Firefox 88+, Safari 14+, or Edge 90+ — keep browsers updated to stay supported.
