No problem.</p> <p>While many websites in this day and age have embraced responsive design, which rescales a full webpage to properly fit on smaller screens, there are still a pesky number who insist on serving "slimmed down" mobile versions to iPhone and iPad users. This can be a pain, especially if you're using an iPad and are triggering a far-too-big-for-your-screen mobile display, or you're trying to find a feature that the website owner simply hasn't provided in mobile form.</p> <p>Thankfully, you can disregard the website owner's wishes and get whatever version you prefer with a quick Safari trick.</p> <p>Note: While this
will work for "m.[domain].com" websites—you just have to retype the original "domain.com" in the URL bar to get the site—you won't get a "desktop"-sized version if the site you're visiting has been responsively designed to scale to certain screen sizes.</p> <h2>How to request the desktop version of a website in mobile Safari</h2> <ol><li><strong>Visit</strong> the affected site in Safari.</li> <li><strong>Tap and hold</strong> the Refresh button in the URL bar.</li> <li>Tap <strong>Request Desktop Site</strong>.

</li> <li>The website will then reload as its desktop version.</li> </ol><p>This will last as long as you have that tab open for that website; close the tab, or enter in a new web address in that tab, and you'll revert to the mobile version if you return.</p> </div></div></div><br clear='all'/>
