Disable the "This game is not designed to run on your device" message?

Hi, so recently me and a couple other people made a game for a game jam. One of our goals was to do an HTML export that could be played on desktop and mobile, as well as native exports. And after a lot of work it seems to work fine! However, when loading the game on my Android phone I get this message. I assume this is just automatic for all HTML games on itch, but I am wondering if there's any way to disable it. It won't work for iOS I don't think, but it should work more or less normally for all Android users and I think the casual pick-up-and-play nature of the game would probably work well for mobile gamers.

Thanks for any help you can give me, here's a screenshot as an example.

On the embed options for your project (Located on the Edit Game page) there’s an option “Mobile friendly” that instructs us that the html file you provided works on phones. Select that and the warning will go away. Tell me if you have any issues.

Thanks

Yes! That seems to have worked, thank you haha. I remember seeing that checkbox at some point but I don’t know why I didn’t put two and two together to figure that out myself.
