    Alas, this Safari feature hasn’t worked on iPhone with most popular social media for years now, including for instance Facebook. Opera however works in desktop mode with Facebook, but even Opera can’t open the Pinterest desktop site.

    Complete and utter bs. Frickin’ annoying that this Safari feature that hasn’t worked on iPhone with most popular social media for years now, including for instance Facebook, is still alleged to work on all sites, which is far, far from the truth. Opera however works in desktop mode with Facebook, but Pinterest is garbage media because even Opera can’t open the desktop site.

    M hero! Hate the app and could NOT get to the desktop version. This tip worked when neither iPad blogs nor Pinterest help desk could figure it out, you probably saved my life. An aneurysm was imminent.
