Enable the ‘Desktop Site’ option
The desktop site view helps view all hidden menus and options, just like we see on the desktop. The font size and elements might look smaller since we are visiting a desktop site on a mobile phone. Here are the steps to follow:
- Launch the Chrome app on Android.
- Open any website that you want to view in desktop mode.
- Tap on the More
menu options. - Select the checkbox against the Desktop site.
The page will automatically reload and display the desktop site view on the mobile phone.
If you want to switch back to the original mobile view, then undo the checkbox on step #4. The page will reload, and you will see the mobile site view.
Bottom Line
You can experience the full desktop site view on Chrome Android by enabling the desktop view. The desktop view will automatically load on the small screen when you try to load the site.
Similarly, you can:
- View Desktop Site layout in Chrome on iPhone & iPad
- Enable Mobile Site View in Google Chrome on the Computer
