iPad User-Agent Detection

If i visit a website with my iPad the os is detected as macos and the device as desktop.
Would be great if an iPad would correctly detected.

This actually might be very difficult to resolve. Since iPadOS 13, iPads return the exact same user-agent as a regular macOS device.

If you go to Settings -> Safari -> Request Desktop Website -> All websites. That option is enabled by default. If you disable it, then the user-agent of the device would show that it is an iPad again. I'll see if there is a more reliable method we can use to detect iPads without doing something invasive in terms of privacy, but it is not as easy as it seems.

Oh I see that this is not an easy task or even possible if the user use Request Desktop Website settings.
