Simple Way to Access Facebook Full Desktop Site on iPhone 8, X, 6s, 7 and Any iOS

By Dinesh 11 Comments

By default, any smartphone and tablet display the mobile version of the Facebook web site when you try to access. If you are browsing the Facebook website by a web browser from your Android or iPhone, it is going to display the mobile version which is having different look than the traditional desktop site. That doesn’t mean you can’t access the Facebook’s full website. Here is the simple way to access the Facebook full desktop site from your iPhone, it can be iPhone 6, 6s, 7, 8 or even the latest  X (10) models.

This method is applicable for iPad, iPad mini, and Pro too. Since you will be automatically redirected to mobile version from these devices, follow below steps to access the Facebook full desktop site.

How to Access Facebook Full Site (Desktop Version) on iPhone?

Step-1

a) Log-in to your Facebook account from the browser. Normally, it will login to the mobile version (m.facebook.com), no worries, let’s go to the next step.

b)  Once you have successfully logged in to the Facebook from any web browser from iPhone, now change the web address to www.facebook.com/home.php. That will open the desktop full version of Facebook on your iPhone as below. It doesn’t matter which browser or iOS version you are using, but it works!

Step-2

If you are a Safari web browser user, you have an additional option to request the desktop version.

Open the Safari browser and go to facebook.com, as expected you will be redirected to the mobile version. Before or after login to your FB account, tap the share button and select ‘Request Desktop Site’ as shown below. That will give the Facebook desktop site on your iPhone or iPad device.

    You will be very sorry if you try this. Facebook desktop mode uses JavaScript for user interactions that no mobile browser, including Safari, is capable of handling. But don’t take my word for it. Go ahead, try it out yourself, and see how quickly you get so frustrated that you feel like throwing your mobile device out a window. This doesn’t work at all.
