How does the mobile indicator exactly work?

I have been searching for a while and I can't find the answer to this question.

Basically, does the indicator pops if someone is using the app or a mobile device, or is it possible to emulate "mobile" on a pc?

In other words, would it still be possible for the mobile icon to appear on someone using a pc or a laptop?

The Mobile Presence indicator will show up when you are active only on mobile.

Yes, correct, but I wonder if that's because it detects the device as mobile, because it's running the discord android/iOS app, or any other reason.... Get what I mean? What I'm asking is what does discord consider "mobile" to display it like that

Doubt you'll get an answer. Just try for yourself with an emulator
