Much older Bootstrap

.hidden-phone, .hidden-tablet etc. are unsupported/obsolete.

UPDATE:

In Bootstrap 4 there are 2 types of classes:

• The hidden-*-up which hide the element when the viewport is at the given breakpoint or wider.
• hidden-*-down which hide the element when the viewport is at the given breakpoint or smaller.

Also, the new xl viewport is added for devices that are more then 1200px width. For more information click here.

Bootstrap 4 Beta Answer:

d-block d-md-none to hide on medium, large and extra large devices.

d-none d-md-block to hide on small and extra-small devices.

Note that you can also inline by replacing d-*-block with d-*-inline-block

Old answer: Bootstrap 4 Alpha

• You can use the classes .hidden-*-up to hide on a given size and larger devices

  .hidden-md-up to hide on medium, large and extra large devices.

• The same goes with .hidden-*-down to hide on a given size and smaller devices

  .hidden-md-down to hide on medium, small and extra-small devices

• visible-* is no longer an option with bootstrap 4

• To display only on medium devices, you can combine the two:

  hidden-sm-down and hidden-xl-up

The valid sizes are:

• xs for phones in portrait mode (<34em)
• sm for phones in landscape mode (≥34em)
• md for tablets (≥48em)
• lg for desktops (≥62em)
• xl for desktops (≥75em)

This was as of Bootstrap 4, alpha 5 (January 2017). More details here: http://v4-alpha.getbootstrap.com/layout/responsive-utilities/

Bootstrap 4.x answer

hidden-* classes are removed from Bootstrap 4 beta onward.

If you want to show on medium and up use the d-* classes, e.g.:

<div class="d-none d-md-block">This will show in medium and up</div>

If you want to show only in small and below use this:

<div class="d-block d-md-none"> This will show only in below medium form factors</div>

Screen size and class chart

| Screen Size        | Class                          |
|--------------------|--------------------------------|
| Hidden on all      | .d-none                        |
| Hidden only on xs  | .d-none .d-sm-block            |
| Hidden only on sm  | .d-sm-none .d-md-block         |
| Hidden only on md  | .d-md-none .d-lg-block         |
| Hidden only on lg  | .d-lg-none .d-xl-block         |
| Hidden only on xl  | .d-xl-none                     |
| Visible on all     | .d-block                       |
| Visible only on xs | .d-block .d-sm-none            |
| Visible only on sm | .d-none .d-sm-block .d-md-none |
| Visible only on md | .d-none .d-md-block .d-lg-none |
| Visible only on lg | .d-none .d-lg-block .d-xl-none |
| Visible only on xl | .d-none .d-xl-block            |

Rather than using explicit .visible-* classes, you make an element visible by simply not hiding it at that screen size. You can combine one .d-*-none class with one .d-*-block class to show an element only on a given interval of screen sizes (e.g. .d-none.d-md-block.d-xl-none shows the element only on medium and large devices).
