Help Center and Guide are tested with the browsers listed below. Older browsers can still be used, but newer features may not look or work as intended. We recommend that you always use the current version of a browser. Most browsers provide an option for automatic updates.
JavaScript must be enabled in your browser to allow for full use of the Help Center. For example, without JavaScript, certain parts of the Help Center, including drop-down lists on ticket forms, don't work correctly.
There are two categories of pages: end-user pages and admin pages. End-user pages are what your customers see in Help Center. Admin pages are what Guide Managers and select agents see in Guide.
For Zendesk Support, see Zendesk Support system requirements.
For end-user and admin pages, these browsers are supported on desktop:
- Google Chrome: latest two versions
- Mozilla Firefox: latest two versions
- Apple Safari: latest two versions
-
Important: Zendesk has announced the removal of support for Internet Explorer 11.
- Microsoft Edge: latest two versions
For end-user pages only, these browsers are supported on mobile:
- iOS 9 and higher
- Chrome Mobile for Android: latest version

Hey Zendesk - we recently received a communication stating that IE would no longer be supported on any of Zendesks products from June 19.
I can see the Support user-guide has an explicit note about this (https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/203661786-Zendesk-Support-system-requirements) but this one doesn't.
Can you confirm if it applies to Help Centre and Guide too?
Thanks :)
I have the exact same question as Mark.
But also, I would like to say, "Please please pleeease drop IE support everywhere!"
Hi Mark and Dru, The ending of support for the Explorer browser is specific to the agent interface. Users shouldn't have any issue accessing the help center.
In the larger picture, it's worth noting that Microsoft has stopped supporting Internet Explorer, so that applications use and support across the web will likely decrease.

Thank you for the clarification.
How is work
I use an iPad mostly. When will admin pages be usable in either a) a mobile browser or b) made available via an app (I use Guide mainly).
Hey Jonathan,
I reached out to our internal team here and it doesn't look like this is currently on the roadmap. However, we appreciate you reaching out this is definitely something our mobile team are thinking about.
Thanks again!
Hi Zendesk,
I have a question. I'm currently developing an integration in our system and we are using it to open zendesk pages but unfortunately I didn't notice that browser support for agent is not supported. Why? Most of our customers used browsers. Is there any plans for the future to use support mobile browsers for agents?
I hope you'll be able to support it in future.
Thank you.
Austin
Hey Austin,
There are no future plans currently to support the agent interface within the mobile browser. You'll need to use the mobile apps we created for both Android and iOS instead. Your agents may still be able to access the agent interface using a mobile browser. However, if any issues come up you will just want to keep in mind that this is not supported by Zendesk.
Let me know if you have any other questions!
This completely crushes the ability to use Samsung's DeX Desktop mode. We're in a desktop environment and can't log in or do any administrative tasks because the browser is still recognized as "mobile". The official Zendesk app is not useful in the slightest when you're trying to be productive in a desktop environment. It would be nice if Zendesk could revisit this or at the very least update the app to make use of a fullscreen desktop mode.
Appreciate you taking the time to share this feedback with us Russ!
I totally understand your frustration and I'll be sure to pass this feedback along to the appropriate team.
Cheers!
