The phone your customer is holding is not the one in your office

The session captures traffic from both Chrome and an installed app as a standard HAR, with HTTPS decrypted and no SDK added to your app — this is where Android shines. Traffic to certificate-pinned domains stays hidden, which is true for every vendor.

Only offline and Wi-Fi today. There is no 3G or 2G profile on an Android session — those exist on desktop browser sessions. This is a real gap, not a hidden setting, and we would rather tell you now than have you plan around it.

Biometrics — yes. Turn on Biometric for your build and answer the fingerprint or face prompt yourself, pass or fail, during the session (see our Biometric testing page). Camera and QR/barcode injection are not built here, and routing a session through another country is a desktop-browser feature, not a phone one. BrowserStack is the better fit if you need camera injection.

Yes, for features — an emulator session gives the same controls as the matching real Android device, and your APK installs and runs because the operating system is real. What it cannot show is anything physical: the maker's software layer, camera, sensors, radio, battery or true speed.

Per app, which is how Android allows it — your app is relaunched in the language you pick. Changing the whole device's language is not available and is not coming; the permission it needs is refused by manufacturer builds even for a privileged app. The timezone, by contrast, is changed device-wide.

Yes. You watch the live device log as you reproduce the bug, so a crash or warning shows the moment it happens. The screenshots, recordings and logs you capture stay in your organisation's gallery afterwards, not on the device.

Anything you installed is removed and the device is cleaned before the next person uses it — signed out, data wiped, and fully erased when a light clean is not enough. The screenshots, recordings and logs you captured stay in your organisation's gallery, not on the device.

Upload your build and it installs on a real Android phone or tablet for the session, then is removed when you finish — all from your browser, with no device of your own to set up. You can also open the Play Store on the device and sign in with your own account to install a released app; app bundles (.aab) are not accepted, so upload a built APK.
