iPhone version in realtime by: GeoVario, LLC Keeps Popping Up....

[sonofeugene]

Got a weird problem. After years of surfing CalGuns on my iPad normally, it now keeps opening up in the "iPhone version in realtime by: GeoVario, LLC" mode. I scroll down to the bottom and hit "Normal Version" and in one try, sometimes two, I get the normal version. Then it's can close Safari, shut down the pad, and then when going back to CalGuns, it takes me to "iPhone version in realtime by: GeoVario, LLC" again. Don't know why it does that. Any ideas?

I deleted all the cookies and other CalGuns web info but it keeps doing it, even after re logging on.

Anyone else have this problem?

Working fine on my ipads. But I have seen it happen in the past. You may need to go scorched earth on your Safari history/cookies/cache.

In the upper center of your screen where you see the Cal guns name there should be two different size AAs. Click it and it will give you an option for desktop only view and click that and every time after this it will go to the normal view and not the mobile version

AA’s?

In the URL address bar

Nope, don't see it.

And I believe I've already gone scorched earth on CalGuns. I'll keep trying. Thanks all!

I am running an earlier version of the iPad OS, though. 10.3.4. Can't go any higher.

That is not iPad OS, that is just iOS. iPad OS started at 13.1

That is why you don't see the "AA".

Anyhow, you may have to go scorched earth on *all* your Safari data.

iPadOS requests the desktop version of websites by default. You should rarely have to use the AA for that. But you can adjust the scaling there too.

^^^ very nice, thanks for the tip.

OP, you also may be able to long press the refresh button and get a 'request desktop site' option, that was the old school way before ios 13 / iPadOS. However it is not permanent like it is in IOS13+. After you close the tab or browser it will revert back to mobile next time you ask for the site in question.
