Why Does This Take Place?

The reality is that it’s not a malfunction or an issue you need to address. Your browser is operating as it should.

Selecting the desktop mode on your phone saves the Amazon settings. Users often return to the browser, expecting the mobile site to load, but instead, the desktop version stays.

Fortunately, both Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox provide easy ways to adjust this setting back to the mobile version of websites.

The steps to change this on Apple Safari for iPads and iPhones are a bit more complicated, which we will explain later in this post.
