Responsive web design is working on desktop but not on mobile device
MobileResponsive DesignMobile Problem Overview
I have a website which must be responsive for mobile phones. I've created it using my desktop. When I adjust browser windows it's working perfectly for mobile phone but when I check it on my real mobile phone: Samsung Galaxy S2 it's not responsive to the mobile view.
What could be the wrong?

You are probably missing the viewport meta tag in the html head:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
Without it the device assumes and sets the viewport to full size.

Though it is answered above and it is right to use
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
but if you are using React and webpack then don't forget to close the element tag
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" />

Responsive meta tag
To ensure proper rendering and touch zooming for all devices, add the responsive viewport meta tag to your <head>
.
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, shrink-to-fit=no">
