How to view desktop site: on mobile, on Android

Android allows you to customise how you would like to view websites on your phone or mobile device. This setting allows you to switch from a website's mobile site to its desktop version with ease, making good use of the larger Android phone screens. Read on for a step-by-step.

To view the desktop version of a webpage on Android:

  • Open your browser and navigate to any website.

  • In most cases, the website's mobile version will be displayed by default.

  • Simply tap on the Menu key and select Request desktop site.

Your browser should now switch over to the website's desktop version.
