Is there a native setting to restrict survey access to mobile devices only?

Hi everyone!

I am moving a project from Qualtrics to LimeSurvey and I am looking for a specific feature. In Qualtrics, there is a native option to "Allow Mobile Devices Only" (or block computer/desktop access), which prevents students from taking the survey on a laptop or desktop computer.

Example from Qualtrics:

My Question: Does LimeSurvey have a built-in setting (or a recommended plugin) to enforce this "Mobile Only" restriction?

If there is no native setting, what is the current "best practice" JavaScript workaround to detect the device type (User Agent) and screen out non-mobile users?

I am looking for a solution that either:

Prevents the survey from loading on desktop devices entirely.

Or redirects desktop users to a "Screenout" page with a message asking them to switch to a mobile device.

Thank you for your help!
