View Full Websites on iOS & Android

Many of you, like me, get frustrated when you visit a website on your iOS or Android mobile device and it forces you to the "mobile" version of their website.  Most of those mobile sites are scaled down in terms of features and things you can actually do.

These sites put an "m" or the word "mobile" in the front of the mobile web address and in some instances you can take that out and it forces the full site to open. Take twitter.com for example. This is not one of those sites unfortunately. So what do you do?   Wait until you get to a desktop?  Sounds like a hassle to me. What's the point in having a mobile device if you can't accomplish what you need to do?

Follow these steps on how to work your way around this "force" field.

1. Install Google Chrome for your device.
Google Chrome for iOS from the App Store.
Chrome Browser for Android from Google Play

2. Open Chrome and type in the address you are having problems with.  

3. Click on the settings menu (i.e. the three horizontal lines) and select Request Desktop Site

BAM!  A fully functional site now available at your fingertips while on-the-go.  Wasn't that easy?   And even if you don't care for Chrome, at least you have it for those stubborn mobile sites. 

ENJOY!!

  2. Woah! I’m enjoying the template/theme of this website. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s very hard to get that “perfect balance” between superb usability and visual appeal. I must say you’ve done a very good job with this.

  3. I'm getting a charge out of the layout/topic of this site. It's straightforward, yet successful. A great deal of times it's extremely difficult to get that "immaculate equalization" between sublime ease of use and visual intrigue. google ads certification answers I should state you've done a generally excellent activity with this.
