Nowadays, most website developers seem devoted to making mobile-responsive websites. But, still, the mobile version of the few websites doesn’t offer the functionality you expect. Therefore, almost all web browsers have begun offering desktop site view features; Samsung Internet is no exception.
Samsung Internet enables you to get the functionality of the website’s desktop version on your Android smartphone.
Some websites don’t do well on mobile because they are trimmed down to speed up the web page’s loading time. I prefer to use my mobile browser to enjoy Facebook, but whenever I try to change the privacy settings or want to manage my friend list. At that time, I saw the need for a desktop version of Facebook.
But not every time and everywhere I can access my computer every day, so I have come across several articles and got to know Samsung Internet’s desktop site view feature.
Load Desktop Site View
Desktop site view will allow you to access all the functions of the websites just like you access on your computer. This option works quite well when you need the computer browser for accessing a website your mobile browser isn’t supported.
Here are the steps to enable desktop site view on Samsung Internet mobile browser:
- Launch the Samsung Internet browser on your Android.
- Open the website for which you want to enable the desktop view.
- Tap on More
for the menu options list. - Select the command option.
The website will force-reload, and the desktop version of the site will appear.

Quit Desktop Site on Samsung Internet
Once you have enabled the desktop site view on Samsung Internet, it will take time to load the website, but this will consume higher data than the mobile site. So it is recommended that you close the Desktop site view and switch back to the mobile site unless necessary.
Here are steps to disable the desktop site and switch back to the mobile site on Samsung Internet:
- Launch the Samsung Internet browser on your Android.
- Open the website for which you want to enable the desktop view.
- Tap on More for the menu options list.
- Select the command option.
This will reload the browser and switch the website’s mobile site that was temporarily loaded as the desktop site. You can also close the Samsung Internet browser and relaunch it from the task manager.
Bottom Line: Desktop Site on Samsung Internet
The desktop site view feature enables you to get the feeling of desktop sites without leaving the comfort of your mobile phone. All the hidden features can be accessed easily when you load the desktop site view.
This feature helped me get the most from the Samsung Internet browser. Now, I can surf any of the websites without facing any difficulties. My browsing experience has been dramatically enhanced after getting familiar with this feature, and I hope the same for you.
