Yes put I’m looking for away to link the desktop version to an app on iPad so I don’t have to do this each time I open Facebook….any ideas?

“Request Desktop Site” frequently does not work for me, and it was driving me crazy. Option 1, the direct link, does the trick. Thank you!
Tony Jennetti says
Option 1 worked well. Thanks.
The other descriptions were incomplete. For example in Option 2 you said to use the facebook “Share” button..but did not define what the share button looks like or where it can be found. (Facebook has so many buttons!)
