Inspect iPhone Safari from Windows

Windows and iPhone guide, with preparation cards and real inspection footage.

Preparation cards explain the phone settings and trust prompts; recorded CrocProbe footage shows the inspection. Recorded with CrocProbe 1.0.7 on Windows and a physical iPhone.

Follow along with your own phone

  1. Prepare Windows. Install Apple Devices or iTunes from the Microsoft Store, then open CrocProbe.
  2. Connect the iPhone. Use a USB data cable, unlock the phone, and complete its Trust This Computer prompt yourself.
  3. Enable Web Inspector. On the iPhone, open Settings → Apps → Safari → Advanced and turn on Web Inspector. Leave Safari open on the page you want to inspect.
  4. Check Phone connection. In CrocProbe, follow the next step shown until the phone and Safari page are available.
  5. Inspect. Choose the page in the sidebar, select an element in the live preview, and read its styles and geometry. Scrolling the preview moves the real page.

If the phone or page does not appear, start with Apple USB service troubleshooting, missing Safari targets, or a suspended Safari page.

Using a Mac? macOS already includes Apple USB support. The phone still needs to trust the computer and have Web Inspector enabled.
