Google’s plans for mobile first?
Google webmaster team said last month that mobile first roll-out will focusing on websites which are ready.
But sites won’t be notified they have been switched to mobile-first indexing.

Content hidden for UX on mobile?
Once the mobile-first index is rolled out, content hidden behind tabs on mobile will be seen by Googlebot.
This also stresses the importance of UX when it comes to how you are displaying content on mobile.

On mob links need to be present
Googlebot can crawl links included by JavaScript on mobile pages.
But if the links are completely missing on mobile pages which exist on the desktop pages, then Googlebot wouldn’t see these links.
