3 Ways To Access Facebook Full Desktop Website On Android

Posted on the 08 August 2015 by Rahulthepcl

Facebook doesn't allow us to access their web version on Android Smartphone. It'll automatically redirect you to the mobile version. It's not that Facebook is forcing us to use only device specific version. But to provide you a better experience of Facebook, developers have made it responsive according to the device you're using.

One more reason of why FB doesn't allow it's web version on mobile is that major amount of people are not using high speed Internet connection. So literally you won't be able to operate Facebook desktop version properly.

But some time we might need to take advantage of Facebook' full desktop website on android. As you can't use all its features on android version. There are some simple to use methods which will force your browser to open Facebook full site. I have mentioned 3 ways below, although all of them work fine but if in any case one of them doesn't work for you then simply go for next one.

1. Using URL

This is one of the simplest method to load Facebook full desktop website on your android phone. We can say that it's an official method from Facebook because the URL which we're going to use is FB's own URL.

  • Just open your browser and enter this URL http://www.facebook.com/home.php. Don't forget to add 'www' in front of facebook.
  • It'll open up as a mobile website if you're not logged in, once you've logged into the Facebook, you can see full version of Facebook.
  • Bookmark the above link to open it in one click or remember to add home.php every time you want to access desktop website.

2. Using Browser In Built Function

This feature is available on almost every popular browser. Mobile browsers have a functionality to open desktop view of any website you are surfing. Here I am taking example of Google Chrome android browser.

  • Launch your web browser, you can access it from your Smartphone's home screen.
  • Click the three dots on the top right corner.
  • Now select Request Desktop Site from the menu. (There can be different options for this. Here in Google Chrome it is mentioned as above bold term.
  • Now simply input facebook.com in the address bar and that's it. You're done.

3. One More Way

This is another great working method if you're using mobile version and wanna switch to desktop meanwhile.

  • Open your phone web browser. (Here I am taking example of Google Chrome)
  • Open http://m.facebook.com, wait till it loads.
  • Now click on the menu from the top right corner.
  • Scroll to the end of the menu and there you can see an option Desktop Site, simply click on it and that't it.
Note: - It is always advised to rotate your screen while accessing desktop website on your mobile. Landscape mode will give a better view of text and image of the website. To use landscape mode simply select rotate screen notification bar.
