For Electrum testnet on Windows OS:
Right-click the Electrum shortcut; In the Properties-Shortcut, edit the Target column by adding the following text at the end:

Although, I am using Windows OS. On my laptop, which was window 10, I noticed when I downloaded Electrum on it when I bought it 2 years ago or so, the testnet was created automatically.

I got another laptop running Window 11 which I have just downloaded Electrum on recently which you can see from above image. The testnet also was created automatically.

That's the shortcut pre-generated by the installer (setup) version of Electrum Windows binary.
But for "stand-alone" and "portable" versions, the command line option should be provided like in other operating systems or create a shortcut like instructed by Husna QA.

And both the Electrum and the testnet Electrum works perfectly. I do not know of MacOS, but I do not think that is necessary anymore on Windows OS.

Opening Electrum Testnet on Windows OS will be easier because, by default, a shortcut is provided in the start menu.

What I mentioned above is another alternative way to access the Electrum Testnet on Windows OS.

For MacOS, by default, you will not find Electrum testnet shortcuts, unlike Electrum for mainnet networks. To access it using the command line, as I mentioned before.

Meanwhile, Electrum testnet on Linux (Ubuntu), you can use the following guide (I haven't tried this myself):

For the MacOS version of Electrum Testnet, type the following command line in Terminal (assuming the Electrum application you are using is in the default Applications folder):

Code:

open -n /Applications/Electrum.app --args --testnet

Look for recently downloaded apps, you will see it. Just like this:

Maybe this guide can be helpful: [TUTORIAL] - Electrum Testnet Guide (under construction)

You need to download the latest version of Electrum wallet https://electrum.org/#download

First step, after finishing downloading and installing the wallet, you need create a shortcut for electrum.exe;

In the shortcut properties, under “destination”, add to the end of the location “--testnet”.

Android does not have Electrum testnet. If you want to make use of Electrum testnet version, you have to use the desktop version. If you download and install Electrum wallet, the testnet also install with it which you can see separately and use separately.
