How to check if a website is AI generated on your phone

Most guides to spotting AI-built sites assume a laptop with developer tools. If you want to check if a website is AI generated on your phone, you have fewer tools, but the most useful clues are still within reach. Here is what works on iPhone and Android, from quickest to most thorough.

1. See the full address before you open the link

Long-press the link in a message, email or search result. Both iPhone and Android show a preview with the full address. If it ends in an AI builder's domain (the hub guide lists them builder by builder), you have your answer:

• lovable.app (Lovable), bolt.host (Bolt), vusercontent.net or v0.app (v0)
• base44.app (Base44), manus.space (Manus), gamma.site (Gamma), figma.site (Figma Make)
• replit.app (Replit, which also hosts hand-written code)

Once a page is open, tap the address bar to see the whole address; mobile browsers often show only part of it.

2. Look at the share preview

Paste the link into a chat with yourself in a messaging app. The preview card shows the page's title, description and image as the owner set them. Template defaults are a strong hint: a title like Lovable App, v0 App or Vite + React + TS, a description of Lovable Generated Project, or a generic builder image instead of the business's own.

3. View the source on Android

In Chrome on Android, tap the address bar and add view-source: to the very start of the address:

view-source:https://kilnroom-classes.example/

Chrome shows the page's HTML. Use Find in page from the menu to search for:

• gptengineer or lovable (Lovable)
• bolt.new (Bolt's badge)
• generator (to see whether a builder named itself)
• base44, replit, manus

Many AI-built sites send nearly empty HTML and build the page with JavaScript, so a clean source isn't proof of anything. A match, though, is strong evidence.

4. On iPhone: work with what you can see

Safari on iPhone has no source view. You can still:

• Check the address and the share preview, as above.
• Scroll to the very bottom of the page for a builder badge such as Edit with Lovable, Made with Bolt or Made with Manus; these usually sit in a corner.
• Read the copy for stacked stock phrases and placeholders nobody filled in, like John Doe testimonials. Our guide to AI-written website copy lists them.
• Save the link and check it later on a computer.

What a phone can't show you

Some of the strongest evidence lives in places phones hide: response headers such as Bolt's x-powered-by: Bolt.new, the list of scripts a page loads, and network requests such as a Base44 app calling app.base44.com. Without them, a site on a custom domain with its defaults cleaned up may look entirely ordinary. For the full method, see how to tell if a website was made with AI.

When it matters most

On a phone, the stakes are usually a text message link. If a message asks you to sign in, pay a fee or confirm a delivery, the builder question matters less than the address: a bank or delivery company won't use a lovable.app or bolt.host page. Close it and go to the company's own app or site instead. More in how to spot phishing sites built with AI builders.

A web checker is a website, so you can paste a link into one from your phone's browser. Seven are compared in best AI-generated website detectors.

Kitsuvo, our no-AI web browser, is for Mac and Windows, where it reads the headers, scripts and source of every page for you and filters likely AI-built results out of your searches.
