- culopatin 6y agoSame as iPhone. I just moved from Android and after trying for 1min I couldn’t figure out how to get desktop mode in Safari. Sometimes I find myself fighting things like that in iOS. I’m just supposed to guess.
- Jtsummers 6y agoFor whatever reason the "Request Desktop Site" option is hidden in Safari behind the icon in the address bar that suggests it should just be about controlling the font (small-cap-A, big-cap-A). I think it took me two years to finally remember that consistently instead of just being frustrated that I couldn't find it.
- eznzt 6y agoConsider yourself lucky, a few years ago it was under the "share" button. Yes, really.
- Jtsummers 6y agoYep. And I had finally gotten used to that when they moved it. At least the "share" button in iOS is a bit of a catch all (sharing with messaging apps, email, make a bookmark, print it, add to home screen, copy, and more actions), so it at least made some sense. Moving it behind a font control button makes no sense.
- saagarjha 6y agoiOS actually refers to the icon as the "action" icon.
- saagarjha 6y agoIt was also a long press on the refresh icon (because you'd reload the site into desktop mode, which actually made a bit of sense) but now it's in the generic overflow menu that for whatever reason is "ᴀA".
- mkr-hn 6y agoTip you'll probably need soon: the address bar also functions as the "Find in page" feature.
- meowster 6y agoI miss how websites used to work with the original iPhone. Websites looked like normal desktop sites, and you could double-tap on a block of text and the browser would zoom into that area. I just want normal websites, none of this mobile f*kery we have today.
