Variants, other than 960, are only available via browser.
Dear developers of Chess.com,
please update the phone app so we can play variants on phone because lichess app has that feature and im considering on switching to lichess for Good if this doesnt happens.
thank you,
an average variants enjoyer

I stumbled upon this a awhile back on Android, but it doesn't work quite as well as it does on computer browser. I was only able to access it through the "Leagues" section. I clicked the trophy by my avatar in the top left of my main landing screen on the android app, which brings you to leagues section. Click any player's username to reveal the create challenge icon. create a challenge, select the variant, then change the username of the opponent or set to random. You will be forced into what looks like a mobile browser instead of the usual app board game play, but it is all still on a board within the app. I'm not sure if this works the same on iOS.
I have a screen recording video of how to access if you are having trouble following these steps, but it isn't posted anywhere. Email me if you would like the video. Scrubbglass@gmail.com
It's just easier to log into the website with a mobile browser.
It's actually not easier. I tried and it was very slow. Nobody wants to play chess that slowly. Even the loading took a while so it's not a good idea. I think we need a variants update.

Yes, it is kinda useless if the app has fewer stuff than the actual site... Please add variants to the app! It is supposed to have access to your device, so usually apps have more functionality than the sites..
Apps would be likely huge if they natively supported everything the site did and some things, like some variants, wouldn't work well on many mobile screens.
That's true but they could at least add like three check and some of the simpler variations.

Yeah three check should be easy enough.

The mobile edition is limited and does not have all the features.

The only variant in the app is 960. You need to use the website for the others.
So, how can i have access to many different variants in the app?

You play it on a website through a computer.
I didn't use computer to play chess ( if someone wants to tell me how to insert photos in mobile because the "choose a file" button is broken, that's would be good )
no
