# Mobile Self-Healing Support in AIQ

**Last reviewed:** September 24, 2026

Use mobile self-healing to improve locator resilience when supported mobile elements change in predictable ways.

## What changed in this article

- Apply self-healing to stable mobile workflows first; it is not a replacement for good locator strategy.
- Review healed steps after execution so accidental matches do not hide product changes or test defects.
- Document device, OS, app version, and locator type when reporting mobile self-healing behavior.

## Validation workflow

1. Run the mobile scenario and identify locator failures that are candidates for healing.
2. Enable or review self-healing behavior for the affected steps.
3. Replay on the target device matrix and confirm the healed step still validates the intended UI element.

**Review note:** Aligned the article with current AIQ self-healing language and added mobile-specific validation details.
