‘Request Desktop Site’ enabled (Regular) ‘Request Desktop Site’ enabled (Zoomed out) 3. Alas! The desktop site feature does work, but you might have to manually zoom/resize the page to desktop view yourself. I initially thought the ‘Request Desktop Site’ feature didn’t work until I was pushed by instinct to zoom the page out (by pinching two fingers together).

Changing this Guiding Tech page to desktop view on my iPhone’s Chrome, for example, changed nothing on the face of it. Sometimes when you request for the desktop version of a website on your iPhone’s Chrome browser, the feature indeed works, but you probably didn’t notice. With ‘Request Desktop Site’ enabled, swipe the page down or tap the three-dotted menu icon at the bottom-right corner of Google Chrome and tap Reload. If nothing changes after the site automatically reloads, you should manually reload the website and check if it changes to a desktop view. Yes, Chrome reloads website by default when you toggle on the ‘Request Desktop Site’ feature. If you enabled the ‘Request Desktop Site’ feature on a particular website, but Chrome still displays the mobile version of the site, reloading the website could help force-enable the desktop view. I know it sounds a bit pedantic, but you should try it again in a new browser tab.
