The Mobile version of Facebook does not provide full functionality as available in its Desktop version. Hence, we are providing below the steps to Open Facebook Desktop Site on Mobile Device.

Open Facebook Desktop Site on Mobile Phone

Go to Facebook Desktop Version on Mobile Phone

The default option on both iPhone and Android Phone is to open the mobile version Facebook.

This happens, both when you launch the Facebook App on your Mobile device and also if you try to open Facebook using Safari or Chrome browser.

Even if you visit Facebook by typing www.facebook.com in Google Chrome or Safari browser, you will still be redirected to the Mobile version of  Facebook.

However, it is still possible to open the Desktop version of Facebook on a mobile device by using workarounds as provided below.

1. Open Facebook Desktop Site on Android Phone or Tablet

Open Chrome browser > type Facebook.com in the search bar and hit the Go button. This will still take you to the mobile version of Facebook (m.facebook.com).

Go To Facebook Site Using Google Chrome

Once you land on the mobile version of Facebook, tap on 3-dots icon located at top-right corner and select Desktop Site option in the drop-down menu.
