Guides on Facebook Full Site in Mobile

Depending on the browser you’re using, you should always have an option, which makes the app to always show you desktop versions of all the websites and not the mobile versions. You might have to dig in deep through the settings for some, but most are self-explanatory and simply done.

If you’re not using a browser that readily supports something like this, or you’re just lazy and don’t want to fool around with the settings, then go to the address bar and replace the “m” from the address link “m.Facebook.com/…” and you will be able to load the desktop site. Although most sites might not stick to the desktop site and upon clicking on another link on this page, you might find yourself redirected to the mobile site.

Also, be aware that desktop interfaces use more data than corresponding mobile sites in most cases, so keep a tab on that data usage too. This is because the desktop version contains more UI elements and higher resolution images compared to the mobile versions. Note that some features available on the desktop version of Facebook might not work as smoothly on your smartphone, because of differences in the way smartphone browsers and desktop browsers work.
