Do you want to display the social media icons on the mobile?. By default when you add social media icons and display it on the top header, it will not be displayed on the mobile.

There is no option in DIVI to display social icons on mobile. But we can add a few lines of CSS and display the social icons on mobile also. This is helpful for quick access to social media on your mobile as most people use mobile devices these days.

Display Social Icons on Mobile using CSS

Let’s add some CSS to force the DIVI theme to show the social icons. To do this head over to your style.css in your child theme and paste the following CSS.  Alternatively you can also go to DIVI -> Theme Options and paste the CSS in the Custom CSS box.

@media only screen and (max-width: 768px) {
div#et-secondary-menu {
display: block !important;
margin-top: 5px !important;
}
#et-secondary-menu>div.et_duplicate_social_icons>ul>li a {
display: block;
padding-bottom: .50em;
}
}

Now the social icons will show on the mobile. Make sure you adjust the padding-bottom in the CSS. Make it bigger if you want more space below the social icons. Also if you want to display the icons on tablet also, increase the max-width: 768px to a higher value like max-width: 992px.
