Device Preview was an extremely useful tool that I used often. Why was it removed?

Yes, Device Preview was removed from the latest version of Photoshop. We always try to avoid removing features unless absolutely necessary. In this case, it was necessary to improve the performance of Photoshop, as well as focus our development efforts on higher-priority needs.

If you are on macOS, I would recommend you try out the free Skala Preview app as an alternative.  The client app is available for both iOS and Android: https://bjango.com/mac/skalapreview/

And once again, please take the time to sit back and think of how Adobe promised us that, yes, the CC program forces us into a higher price for our software, but from now on upgrades will be so much more frequent and contain so much more features.

I am asking related to Dreamweaver only. On 11/16/2021 a note was posted by Adobe saying that device preview was discontinued across all Dreamweaver platforms. Is that permanent for Dreamweaver? Hopefully not. It is a hugely helpful tool for monitoring (on my iPhone) what my page changes actually look like on my iPhone vs. an inadequate desktop display on my computer for "smaller displays" that does not scale down to an actual phone size screen. The feature has been ingenious on Adobe's part to include.
