Forms 11 and IPhone Desktop Site option

posted two days ago

Is it a known issue that on an iPhone the follow browsers cannot show "desktop site" format?

  • safari
  • chrome
  • firefox
  • edge

 

Is this a dead end for iPhone users? Or is a fix in the works?

Thanks

If you enable "request desktop site" setting on iPhone safari it could show Forms in desktop view.

If you already opened the inbox page you may logout then login to see the difference.

Hi Rui! 
It's been several years. Hope you are doing well :) Thanks for the response.

This issue is a little misleading. Even though iPhone has a 'desktop site' setting, it still looks significantly worse than any browser on Android in 'desktop site' mode. We found this article that describes it perfectly.

Android desktop (what we are trying to duplicate on iPhone):


iPhone desktop:

  

We have tried all the browsers listed showing in my original post above.

I found a URL on reddit that sets the iPhone browser to desktop and zooms it out, but it still does not look as good as the Android desktop mode. It is barely usable and ugly. 

Is this the first report of this happening? Seems like something that would have been handled years ago and I'm just late to the party :)

Thanks so much

Yeah this is the first report of such issue. We had responsive UI design so we don't expect people to use desktop view on phone.

Anyway I tried reproduce it but on fill form page, the responsive UI change was detected by browser width, not browser user agent, so it simply shows like this:

 

Then I tried changing viewport size using embed form, it showed like this:

 

So in your case, do you have custom styles on your form? What is the style look like if you put only a table on the form?
