Basic Fixes

Fix 1: Zoom Page In

I initially thought the Request Desktop Site feature didn’t work until I was pushed by instinct to zoom the page out (by pinching two fingers together). Alas! The desktop site feature works, but you might have to manually zoom/resize the page to desktop view yourself.

Fix 2: Turn off Portrait Orientation Lock

Perhaps some websites are designed only to be viewed in the desktop format if your device’s display is inlandscape orientation.

To turn off the Orientation Lock,swipe downfrom the top-right corner of your iPhone and tap thepadlock icon. You should see a “Portrait Orientation Lock: Off” message at the top of your screen.

If nothing works, try reinstalling Google Chrome on your iPhone. This should fix all the bugs and glitches.
