Do you want to request a Mobile site in Chrome? Mobile websites are optimized for viewing on a mobile device. Some mobile websites are optimized only the look while others serve up special content that isn’t data-heavy. The best mobile site is one that can provide you access to everything the desktop site can but the mobile platform still has its restrictions. The website isn’t always providing the same experience to its mobile users. If you use Chrome on your mobile, you can get around this just by requesting the desktop site. Chrome will display you the desktop site besides the mobile one which it defaults too. However, on iOS, you can’t request the mobile site in Chrome whenever you switch to the desktop model, that is, until now.
Chrome for iOS has been updated with an option to request the smartphone site whenever you switch to the desktop version.
