In this article, I’ll show you how we can use the Announcer plugin to show announcement messages in bar only to mobile users. See a demo here.
Creating the Announcement Bar
Using the Announcer pluginit is very easy to create message bars, even multiple of them.
The feature to display announcement bar only on mobile devices is available in the free version of the plugin itself. You can also upgrade to the PRO version for more advanced features like the news ticker effect, visitor conditions, and more.

Save the settings.
Now, it is time to check if it works. Visit your website from a desktop device and you should not see the announcement bar.
Open your website from your mobile device. Notice the announcement bar is shown.
Adding More Rules
We were able to show the announcement bar only to mobile users. This is indeed very easy to configure.
What if you want to show the announcement bar to mobile users who are new to your website or to users who use Windows OS?
