Do mobile users respond better to timers?

As an e-commerce manager, I'm trying to understand how mobile visitors interact with countdown timers and whether they convert differently compared to desktop users. I've noticed varying conversion rates across devices and want to leverage psychological urgency tactics specifically for mobile shoppers. Are mobile users more or less responsive to time-limited offers, and what design considerations should I keep in mind when implementing countdown timers for mobile experiences?
