        return navigator.userAgent.match(/Android/i);
    },
    BlackBerry: function() {
        return navigator.userAgent.match(/BlackBerry/i);

Solution 3:

Slight update as I too was having a little trouble with this the code snippet above taken as it is didn't quite work.

(function(){

    var isMobile = /Android|webOS|iPhone|iPad|iPod|BlackBerry|IEMobile|Opera Mini/i.test(navigator.userAgent);
    var windowIsThin = window.matchMedia("(max-width:992px)").matches;

    if (isMobile || windowIsThin) {
        //carousel disabled
        $('.carousel').carousel({
            interval: false
        });
    }; 

});

Tested in chrome, IE, Firefox and Opera.

Solution 4:

I got an error 'is not a function' (using bootstrap 5 and webpack).

So just end up with:

var isMobile = /Android|webOS|iPhone|iPad|iPod|BlackBerry|IEMobile|Opera Mini/i.test(navigator.userAgent);

var windowIsThin = window.matchMedia("(max-width:992px)").matches;

if (isMobile || windowIsThin) {
    $('.carousel').attr("data-bs-interval", "false");
};
