I am using wikipedia in mobile phone(android),and I want to use VISUAL EDITOR in it. But I didn't found how to use it in mobile. Please tell me about it in detail.

Touch the "three bars" icon in the top left corner of a Wikipedia article on the mobile web site. From the end of the menu, choose "Settings" (gear-shaped icon). Then choose "Beta (By joining the beta, you will get access to experimental features, at the risk of encountering bugs and issues)" and Save the settings.

That should take you back to the article. Choose the pencil icon near the upper right corner (to edit). This will probably open the wikitext editor. If so, click the new gear-shaped settings icon (near the upper right corner) and switch to "Edit" for VisualEditor.

(If you are using the mobile app on Android, rather than the mobile web site, then please let me know.)

Is VisualEditor available on wikipedia mobile app?

@Amankhandelia VisualEditor is not available in the mobile apps due to technological limitations and differences. It would be a lot of work to overcome these limitations, so there are currently no plans to add VisualEditor to the mobile apps.
