Oops, did you do this too? 
I was poking around on my SharePoint 2013 site and clicking in settings chose the Mobile Site URL. This is provided so you can preview the mobile view others would see on those devices. However, short of closing browsers and clearing cache, I’m stuck in mobile land until I effectively “switch it off”.
So if you’ve done this and realize you aren’t excited about how little content there is…
By doing this…
To Break Out of Mobile View in your Desktop Browser
Append either of the following to your site URL:
- /?mobile=0
or
- /_layouts/15/mobile/mbllistsa.aspx?Mobile=0
Ugh what a nightmare, so glad I found your fix. Why is this even a thing? Was stuck in the mobile version of my office365 and could do nothing until i appended the url with your tip.
Happy to help Ross. Agreed, somethings are harder than they should be or “overthought” as a function/feature
Also if zoomed out by only 10% or so the top menu will become the mobile view
For a bit I was forced to work in a private browsing window to get around the mobile view. SP’s mobile feature is horribly unintuitive–you’d think there’d at least be some kind of toggle to switch back or even better, responsivity based on screen size. But, no.
Regardless: thanks so much for this fix!
Thanks Sean! Just made life so much easier for me.
5 years later and still helpful! Thank goodness for this post.
Thank you for this fix. I am so glad I found your post.
Thanks a million!
Thank you for sharing this. It continues to help people in 2019 😉
