- Firstly, open Facebook Mobile on any Android browser.
- If you are using Google Chrome then press the menu button located at the upper-right corner, then choose “Desktop Site“.
- Instantly, Facebook will reload and the Facebook desktop verison will emerge.
Lastly, you can even change the UAString or User Agent String within the app settings to reflect a desktop browser. The last method will transform every web page you visit into the desktop version.
If any of the above-mentioned methods didn’t work for you and you still can’t access the full desktop version of Facebook then either clear cookies & cache stored on your browser or simply open Facebook in incognito mode.
