Nowadays, most websites are responsive in nature. This means, they can detect if they’re being accessed from a desktop computer or a mobile device, and then automatically change their layout accordingly.
While this behavior makes it easy for the end-users to navigate through the web pages, the mobile version of the sites may not have some important options due to the display and platform restrictions.
Safari in your iPhone and iPad addresses this issue efficiently by allowing you to request the desktop version of any opened website.
Here’s how you can request the desktop version of a website in Safari while using your iDevice running iOS 11:
Tap the Share icon from the bottom, and tap Request Desktop Site from the horizontal menu. This reloads web page and opens the desktop version of the site.
