How to Access the Desktop Version of Facebook on iPhone

When you launch the Facebook website on your iPhone, you’ll notice that your web browser loads the site’s mobile version. If you’d like to access Facebook’s desktop version, there’s a way to make that happen in Safari, Chrome, Edge, and Firefox.

On your iPhone, nearly all web browsers offer the option to request a site’s desktop version. When you use this feature, your browser loads the version of the site that you’d see on a desktop computer.

If you use Safari as your primary browser on your iPhone, it’s easy to get this browser to load Facebook’s computer version.

Safari will reopen the Facebook site, and this time around, it’ll load the desktop version of the site.

A quick way to open Facebook’s desktop version is to first load the mobile site, then in Safari’s top-right corner, tap and hold on the refresh icon and choose “Request Desktop Site.”

You’re done. Enjoy using your favorite site’s computer version on your phone!
