On iPad, Safari shows a website’s desktop version that’s automatically scaled for the iPad display and optimized for touch input.

Use the View menu to increase or decrease the text size, switch to Reader view, specify privacy restrictions, and more.

To open the View menu, tap on the left side of the search field, then do any of the following:

• Change the font size: Tap the large A to increase the font size or tap the small A to decrease it.
• View the webpage without ads or navigation menus: Tap Show Reader View (if available).
• Hide the search field: Tap Hide Toolbar (tap the top of the screen to get it back).
• View the mobile version of the webpage: Tap Request Mobile Website (if available).
• Set display and privacy controls for each time you visit this website: Tap Website Settings.
