Upwork.com is now fully available from your mobile browser.

lenaellis · ‎07-23-2018

This month we will be rolling out all new mobile Upwork pages so that you can access almost all of Upwork.com from your mobile browsers ie: Chrome or Safari, (this functionality isn't available yet on our Upwork apps but will be in a couple of months). We understand that although many of our users access Upwork through their desktop, an overwhelming majority have shared feedback wanting to be able to access Upwork and its features on the go. Our developers and design teams have been working diligently these past few months to roll out this new mobile experience for you. We updated 87 pages and over 150 components. These efforts have made it so that 99% of Upwork will now be accessible on your mobile browser, giving users 10x more functionality than the current mobile experience.

There are still a few things that are only available on the desktop site, and those include- taking skill tests, linking certain payment methods like PayPal and Direct to Local Bank payments. Along with completing verification processes (identity, location), filing disputes, and accessing certain reports and settings.

We will be rolling this out gradually to our users over the next couple weeks and will update you all when this is live for everyone. When available, you can check out the new experience by going to Upwork.com on your mobile browser. As you start to use this new experience, please share your feedback. Updates to our mobile app are coming soon as well, so stay tuned!

Is there any plan to develop an Upwork app for the iPad that would take screenshots at regular intervals like the desktop app? I am a designer who does quite a bit of sketching on my iPad, which I have to enter as manual time. It would be great to have the same functionality on the iPad as on the desktop.

Other contractors who know more about this than I do have said such a function is not available via iOS (and I believe Android), or at least not available in a way that suits Upwork's needs. Since I have used timer apps on both iOS and Android (and am not a technical person), I'm not sure what the particular obstacle(s) might be.

Hi Amanda,

This current update is for the mobile website, however we will be updating both our Android and iOS apps in the near future to provide more functionalities. I don't know off hand if a time tracker will be added to the mobile app. When we have more details on those releases we will let you know.

This new version of the mobile website will be a welcome update.

I really hope this will see the Upwork website become 'responsive' in terms of web design, i.e. the same pages and functionalities re-flowing depending on the size of the device.

Currently tablet devices are restricted to an oversized mobile phone version of the site, which has always been a frustration.

Look forward to seeing this new update.

Valeria, thanks for the update. Which features are not available and when are they scheduled to be available? Thanks!

VladimirG · ‎09-06-2018

Thanks for your question Pat. Nearly all of our most-used pages will be available when you access Upwork.com from a mobile browser. However, you will not be able to do several things via the mobile browser. These include:

Take skills tests
Link a PayPal account, add Direct to Local Bank payment methods, and request wire transfers
Complete a verification process (identity, location, etc.)
File a dispute
Access certain reports, including transaction history and earnings reports
Access certain settings, including tax information, financial accounts, team information
For enterprise clients: Access to certain settings will be limited, including custom fields, index page and offer requirements.

We don't have an ETA for when these features will be included at the moment, stay tuned and let us know your feedback!

Thanks for the information, Vlad.
