My media queries not applying to mobile device. Is my code wrong in some way?

Question

I am not sure why my media queries are not working on the mobile phone. When I slide the desktop version to be narrow like a mobile phone, the smaller tablet and mobile views seem to work. But they do not work on an actual device. Is something wrong my my code?

Most likely has to do with your Viewport
