I use YouTube a lot, both on my Desktop and iPad.  Using the service on the iPad brings up the mobile version.  But with the iPad Pro’s 12.9″ screen, the mobile version looks confusing.

Fortunately, Apple has made an easy way to get the desktop version of this (or any site) so you can take advantage of the full screen real-estate.

Here’s how:

• Go onto any web site that shows a mobile version (such as YouTube.com).
• Tap and hold the Reload icon next to the URL that you typed in.
• A window will drop down with options. 
• Select “Request Desktop Site”.
• Reload the page with the same icon.
• That’s it.

Again, this will work with any web site that has a mobile theme for cell phones.
