My team is working on a new SharePoint based application that runs on a PC Web browser or iPhone.

When testing we got a first problem. SP will automatically redirect the iPhone’s Safari to a mobile view. I tried to see where to disable the mobile view but I found nothing.

After searching from reliable sources I found an article from Randy Drisgill explaining the solution.

You will find a file named compat.browser, that configures SP behavior with multiple browsers, find the iPhone section and follow Randy’s advice:

“To turn OFF the automatic mobile version of the site for this phone, we just need to change isMobileDevice from True to False and save the file.”
