How To Open Amazon Website Not App

Many users on mobile devices encounter difficulty when they switch to the full-site version of the platform and can't switch back to the mobile layout.

Using the full-site version on a small screen becomes frustrating and inefficient.

Why Does This Occur?

It’s not a malfunction or issue; the browser operates as expected.

The browser saves that preference when viewing a website in its full version on a mobile device.

When you return to the browser, you might expect the mobile version to appear, but the full version continues to show.

Fortunately, popular browsers offer simple options to switch to the mobile version.

However, modifying the settings requires a more detailed approach to specific devices. We will explain how to do that later in this post.

Why Does This Occur

Switching to the Mobile View of a Retail Site in a Browser

If you're unsure how to switch from the complete site version to the mobile version on your device, follow these steps:

  1. Launch the web browser on your device.
  2. Navigate to the online store. The whole site should be displayed.
  3. Tap the menu icon located in the corner of the browser.
  4. In the menu, find “Full Site” or a similar option. If selected, tap it to deselect and switch to the mobile version.

Now, the site will show in the mobile format. You can repeat this anytime to toggle between full-site and mobile views.

Switching to the Mobile Version of a Website on a Mobile Browser

Switching to the mobile format of a site on a browser is simple and mirrors the steps in other browsers.

Follow these instructions:

  1. Launch the browser app on your device.
  2. Navigate to the website, where the full version should appear.
  3. Tap the menu icon in the upper-right corner of the browser.
  4. In the dropdown menu, locate the “Desktop site” option. If it's enabled, deactivate it to switch to the mobile version.

The website will now display in its mobile version. To switch back to the desktop view, repeat the process and enable the desktop option.

Switching Back to the Mobile Version of a Website on a Mobile Browser

Requesting the desktop version of a webpage in a browser only applies to the current session.

The browser will automatically switch to the mobile version upon your next visit.

However, the desktop version may sometimes persist, making it difficult to switch back.

The method to return to the mobile version is slightly more complex than other browsing applications.

To switch to the mobile version of a webpage in a mobile browser, follow these steps:

  1. Open the Settings application.
  2. Scroll down and select the browser settings.
  3. Tap on Advanced Settings.
  4. Navigate to Website Data.
  5. Tap Edit in the top-right section.
  6. Locate the website you wish to revert to the mobile version and select the option to delete it.
  7. Tap Done when finished.

After these steps, the mobile version of the site will load the next time you visit it.

To view the desktop version, go to the site, press and hold the reload button, and select the option to request the desktop view.
