By default, any smartphone or tablet will display the mobile version of Facebook site only. If you are browsing the Facebook site 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. It doesn’t mean you can’t access the Facebook full site. 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 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.
I’m sure these 2 simples steps will be useful. Even though it is not needed to browse the full desktop site of Facebook on your small screen sized iPhone or tablet, in case you need, this guide would be helpful.
Always, their mobile version of the browser and the Facebook app will allow you to do everything you do normally in desktop site.

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.
