This is an old post but still a problem within the Chrome dev tools. I find the best way to check mobile source locally is to open the site locally in Xcode's iOS Simulator. Then from there you open the Safari browser and enable dev tools, if you have not already done this (go to preferences -> advanced -> show develop menu in menu bar). Now you will see the develop option in the main menu and can go to develop -> iOS Simulator -> and the page you have open in Xcode's iOS Simulator will be there. Once you click on it, it will open the web inspector and you can edit as you would normally in the browser dev tools.

I'm afraid this solution will only work on a Mac though as it uses Xcode.

The view-source url prefix trick didn t work for me using chrome on an iphone  There are apps I could have installed to do this I guess but for whatever reason I just preferred to do it myself rather than install  yet another app     I found this nice quick tutorial for how to setup a bookmark on mobile safari that will automatically open the view source of a page  https   appletoolbox com 2014 03 how-to-view-webpage-html-source-codes-on-ipad-iphone-no-app-required    It worked flawlessly for me and now I have it set as a permanent bookmark any time I want  with no app installed    Edit  There are basically 6 steps which should work for either Chrome or Safari  Instructions for Safari are     Open Safari and browse to an arbitrary page  Select the  Share   or action   button in Safari  looks like a square with an arrow coming out of the top    Select  Add Bookmark  Delete the page title and replace it with something useful like  Show Page Source   Click Save   Next browse to this exact Stack Overflow answer on your phone and copy the javascript code below to your phone clipboard  code credit  Rob Flaherty      javascript  function   var a window open  about blank   document a write   lt  DOCTYPE html gt  lt html gt  lt head gt  lt title gt Source of   location href   lt  title gt  lt meta name  viewport  content  width device-width    gt  lt  head gt  lt body gt  lt  body gt  lt  html gt    a close   var b a body appendChild a createElement  pre    b style overflow  auto  b style whiteSpace  pre-wrap  b appendChild a createTextNode document documentElement innerHTML           Open the  Bookmarks  in Safari and opt to Edit the newly created Show Page Source bookmark  Delete whatever was previously saved in the Address field and instead paste in the Javascript code  Save it    Optional  Profit

This question is a few years old  and there are some good suggestions for workarounds  but I didn t really notice any answers that address the core of the original question head-on  So    Providing a  universal  method for viewing source in a feature phone browser  or even arbitrary third-party smartphone browser  is impossible because  view source      via any method     is a feature implemented in the browser  So how it s accessed  or even if it can be accessed  is up to the developers of the browser  I m sure there are plenty of browsers that intentionally prevent the user from viewing page source  and if so then you re out of luck  except maybe for workarounds like the ones offered here  Workarounds such as  view source  apps external to the browser  while useful in some cases  are at best an imperfect partial solution to the original request  It s never certain that any such app will display the source of the page in the same form as it s loaded by the phone s browser   Modern web content changes itself in all manner of ways through browser detection  session management  etc  so that the source loaded by any external app can never be relied on to represent the source as loaded by a different app  If you re going to use an external app to load a page because you want to see the source  you might as well just use Chrome  or  on an iOS device  Safari  instead
