How to request the desktop version of a website in mobile Safari...
Visit the affected site in Safari.
Tap and hold the Refresh button in the URL bar.
Tap Request Desktop Site.
The website will then reload as its desktop version.
- stcredzero 8y agoThe most amazing thing about your comment, is that it appears that you think it's a reply to my comment.
- sctb 8y agoYou're doing the uninformative rudeness thing again. Please don't.
- Bluecobra 8y agoIn many cases I found that this doesn’t seem to work. For example, reddit.com will only load the mobile version.
- _asummers 8y agoThat’s not what they referred to. That’s still loading the built in version of WebKit. On Android for example I can download Firefox and Chrome and they run on their own rendering engines.
- wlesieutre 8y agoThey said both: "no view as desktop, and no alternatives to Webkit" It has view as desktop, it doesn't have alternatives to webkit.
- nsxwolf 8y agoIt doesn't work for many responsive websites since you can't spoof your screen metrics.
- wlesieutre 8y agoTrue, but that's more of a problem with Safari than WebKit. Here's Gmail's desktop interface zoomed way out in an iPad sidebar using iCab's desktop mode: https://i.imgur.com/Qr56fYx.png https://i.imgur.com/Qr56fYx.png You can force it to always allow zooming, block App Store links, spoof other user agents (Firefox, Chrome, IE, Opera, Googlebot, etc), download and upload files, and do all sorts of other stuff that Safari doesn't support. User interface is admittedly more crowded so it's not my daily driver, but it's handy to keep around.
