Gmail provides a mobile version of their site for users who access the site from a slower Internet connection or smaller screen. The mobile version of the site will be displayed by default when using an Apple iPad or iPhone to visit the site. If you have a speedy Internet connection, you may want to force your device to show the full version of Gmail so that you can access many more features. Just follow these steps.
Option 1 – Safari Setting
- Login to the mobile Gmail site with your username and password.
- Tap and hold the circled arrow icon
located at the upper-right corner, then choose “Request Desktop Site“.
Option 2 – Desktop Link
- Login to the mobile Gmail site with your username and password.
- Once logged in, go to the bottom of the page and select the “Desktop” link.
- The full desktop version of Gmail is displayed in the browser.
Option 3 – Use Chrome
If you use Google Chrome as your web browser instead of the standard Apple Safari browser, the app provides a nice “Request Desktop Site” option for any website you visit.
