To create a phone icon with a clickable phone number that is only clickable on mobile devices in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Add the phone icon:
  • Place a Div Block on your page where you want the phone icon to appear.
  • Set the size and position of the Div Block appropriately.
  • Add a phone icon to the Div Block using either an image or an appropriate font icon from Webflow's icon library.
  1. Create a link with the phone number:
  • Select the Div Block containing the phone icon.
  • On the right-hand panel, go to the Link Settings section.
  • Add your phone number (with the appropriate country code) as the link URL, starting with tel: (e.g., tel:+123456789).
  • This will tell the browser to initiate a phone call when the link is clicked.
  1. Hide the phone icon on non-mobile devices:
  • Select the Div Block or the parent element containing the phone icon.
  • Go to the Settings panel on the right-hand side.
  • Click on the + icon to add a new conditional visibility rule.
  • Choose Visibility from the drop-down menu.
  • In the first field, select Device type.
  • In the second field, select Is Mobile.
  • Select Hide to hide the elements on devices that are not mobile.
  1. Style the phone icon and link:
  • Customize the style of the Div Block and the phone icon using Webflow's design tools.
  • Apply appropriate typography, colors, sizes, and spacing to make it visually appealing.
  • Make sure the phone icon is clearly identifiable as a clickable link, such as by using a contrasting color or hover effect.

By following these steps, you can create a phone icon with a clickable phone number that is only clickable on mobile devices in Webflow. This will help improve the user experience by providing an easy way for mobile users to initiate phone calls directly from your website.
