Method 1: Using the Inspect and Edit HTML Live app

Step 1: Download and install the Inspect and Edit HTML Live app from Google Play. When the installation finished, open the app.

Step 2: Tap on the address bar at the top, type the website you want to inspect, and hit the enter key on your keyboard.

Step 3: Scroll through the page and locate the element you want to inspect.

Step 4: When you have located the element, tap on the Inspector Mode button at the top right, adjacent to the address box. The button will now be highlighted in yellow.


Step 5: Now tap on the element you want to inspect.



You will now be able to view the codes used to present the selected element. You can search for words to locate certain sections of the code.

Step 6: To exit the Inspector mode after viewing an element, tap on the window icon at the two right to get back to the original webpage you were viewing.

Method 2: On any web browser

Although this method will work on any web browser on Android including Google Chrome, Brave, Microsoft Edge, or Firefox, this will not give you the exact set of codes that are present in a section inside a webpage but show you the entire code used for the page. However, you can still use this to view codes and sources of media present on a page with ease.

Step 1: Open the default web browser that you use on your phone. You can do this on Google Chrome, Brave, Firefox, Opera, Microsoft Edge, Vivaldi, and others.

Step 2: Head over to the page where you want to inspect elements.

Step 3: After the webpage loads up, tap on the address bar, and prefix the address with the following code:

view-source:


For example, if “https://nerdschalk.com” is the page you want to inspect, the addresser should read:

view-source:https://nerdschalk.com Step 4: After adding the above code, hit the enter key on your keyboard.

You will now be able to view the entire source code of the webpage you entered. You can copy-paste the codes to share media or certain elements somewhere else. You can also access links, images, and videos that have been added to the webpage by clicking on them or share them with others.


That’s it! The above two methods are two of the easiest ways to inspect elements on a webpage.
