ToggleHow to View Full Site on iPhone: Facebook, Linkedin, Youtube, Amazon Full Site
Most websites default to their mobile versions when accessed from an iPhone due to the small size of mobile screens and the frequently unreliable nature of mobile connections. But how can an iPhone user view the entire site?
