# WKWebpagePreferences.ContentMode

Constants that indicate how to render web view content.

```
enum ContentMode
```

## Overview

Browsers often render webpages differently based on device type. For example, Safari provides a desktop-class experience when displaying webpages on Mac and iPad, but it displays a mobile experience when displaying pages on iPhone. Use content modes to specify how you want your web view to render content within your app.
