Question

I’m trying to add a Google +1 button to my site. I’m using rails, so I have two views from the same URL – one is for mobile and one not for mobile. I’m trying to add the Google +1 button on the mobile view, and obviously when someone hits it from a browser it will go to the non-mobile page.

Unfortunately, the +1 button will not render on the mobile view. It is fine on the web view. According to Google’s +1 docs/faq’s:

“Will users on mobile browsers see the +1 button?
We are not including the +1 button on mobile search results at this time. However, users may be able to see any +1 buttons you have added to your web pages.”

Well..I don’t care about the Google search results, I only care about my mobile view. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Google supports mobile +1 buttons now.

Does the +1 button appear when my site is viewed in mobile browsers?
Yes! We’ve added support for iOS 4.0+ and Android 2.1+, so once you
add the +1 button code to your site, the button will be automatically
visible on pages viewed using these browsers.

Does the +1 button appear in search results on mobile browsers?
No, the +1 button is not yet supported for mobile search results.

I can’t see inline annotations on my mobile browser. What up?
Currently, we don’t support inline annotations in mobile browsers.
