In older versions of the Aliexpress mobile application, it was not possible to open a dispute. In order to open a dispute for any reason, you had to either switch to the version for a personal computer (which is not convenient on many mobile devices) or use a laptop or computer. This limitation was very frustrating for those buyers who prefer to access the network from a phone or tablet.
But the developers worked actively on this issue. And in new mobile version Aliexpress apps for Android This function has been implemented by them.
