I agree with others and want to weigh in:
During my active years with Wikimedia, I primarily used a laptop. Suddenly, I found myself relying solely on a phone for the past nine months. The mobile interface is unappealing and difficult to navigate, and after years of using the desktop view, adapting hasn't been easy.
Despite this, I continue to edit on my phone, finding it beneficial for productivity and accessibility. I still use the desktop view, even with its overlapping issues. Interestingly, phone data usage is significantly lower than on laptops, possibly due to Windows updates, though I'm not an expert.
One more thing, I believe initiatives focused on teaching editing should include more support for phone editing.

Dear Fellow Wikimedians,
I am Pavan Santhosh, an Indian Wikimedian and Program Manager of CIS-A2K. [1] I would like to share my recent article on the Diff titled "A Case for Mobile Editing https://diff.wikimedia.org/2024/06/13/a-case-for-mobile-editing/".
The article discusses the challenges faced by users, particularly in the Global Majority countries, when editing Wikipedia on mobile devices. Despite the increasing number of mobile internet users, the current mobile editing tools are not user-friendly, limiting effective contributions. It emphasizes the need for improving mobile editing features to enhance inclusivity and accessibility.
I believe this is crucial for the advancement of the Wikimedia movement and would love to hear your thoughts and suggestions on the aspects discussed in my article.
Best regards, Pavan Santhosh, Program Manager, CIS-A2K.
