#  Hide a Module from Users on a Mobile Device

Sometimes, you may want to hide a Joomla module from mobile devices. For example, a complex module that works better on larger screens, desktop-only features, or elements that are not mobile-friendly. You might also want to hide a large promotional banner that takes up too much space on small screens. Instead of showing the module to all users, you can control its visibility using Smile Pack's [Display Conditions](https://www.tassos.gr/docs/smile-pack/display-conditions/start).

## [How to Set It Up](#how-to-set-it-up)

1. Edit the Joomla module you want to hide.
2. Go to the **Display Conditions** tab.
3. Select the **Device Condition** from the list.
4. Set **Match** to **Is Not**.
5. Set the Device option to **Mobile** to hide the module from mobile users.

By selecting the corresponding option, you can also use this condition to hide Joomla modules from tablet or desktop users.

Note: This is not just a CSS-based hiding method! The module is completely removed from the page using server-side logic, ensuring it does not load on mobile devices.
