+### iOS Quirks
+
+Since the introduction of iPadOS 13, iPads try to adapt their content mode / user agent for the optimal browsing experience. This may result in iPads having their user agent set to Macintosh, making it hard to detect them as mobile devices using user agent string sniffing. You can change this with the `PreferredContentMode` preference in `config.xml`.
+
+```xml
+<preference name="PreferredContentMode" value="mobile" />
+```
+
+The example above forces the user agent to contain `iPad`. The other option is to use the value `desktop` to turn the user agent to `Macintosh`.
