Whats Changed?

[Steve509926]

Hi all, is it my phone settings that have changed overnight? or has anyone else noticed a change in the layout format on their mobiles. I use to have a simplefied version of the web page on my mobile which was really easy to use and navigate and IMO better than the app. It's now reverted to the full web page which makes everything so small on a mobile that it's unusable.

I’m still on the simple version just now but from time to time, perhaps once or twice a month I get the small print web version and never know why.

Morning David. Sorted my mobile updated overnight.
Assume you are using an android phone, 3 small dots, top right, press, scroll down to "desktop site", make sure it's unchecked for the simplified view.

I have a self driving iPhone and I'm not super teccy re phones but no three dots on mine. If it opens inexplicably in the desktop version I just view it larger then usually the next time it's back to normal.

Only young people with good eyes should do all this stuff on a mobile ��

Android and PC man myself, never got into the "I" stuff.

I am the last person to be swayed by marketing and image it's just that I never really had a phone that felt right until I tried my first iPhone about 11yrs ago. The family were already using them and now having lost grip on that railing at the top of the slippery slope we have the iPhones, iPad, Mac desktop and Apple TV streamer. All I can say is they work for us in a seamless way with superb interconnectivity and have been totally reliable.

Not this time. I was struck by an image of two oldtimers wondering who'd moved the Internet:

"Darn it Bob, mah cap is all stritchy"

"Yor wearin' a possum, Hank"

T'intetnet what's tha?

Joking apart, we went for a drink with a couple we know on Friday night and I was showing them some pics on my phone, which was taking ages to load. That got us talking about mobile phone storage - pics, music etc as mine is getting full and slowing the phone down.
I mentioned that I'd have to either, get a bigger micro sd card or start using cloud storage, to which she replied with all seriousness "but what happens when it rains"
