DeskView always requests the desktop version of a website. It sends a desktop user agent (Safari on Mac, or a Chrome-on-desktop preset if you choose one), uses WebKit’s desktop content mode, and lays the page out at a 1280, 1440, or 1920 viewport so the site gets the width of a desktop window. You can pinch to zoom. In Settings you can change the default width and preset; DeskView Pro also lets you set these per site, or switch a specific site back to mobile.

Google and some other services block sign-in from in-app browsers, even when the browser looks like Safari. For Google, YouTube, Apple, and Microsoft sign-in pages, DeskView can open a standard phone-sized window that shares the app’s cookies, then return you to the desktop site signed in. If Google still blocks the sign-in, use Open in Safari from that window. Signing in through Safari may not carry the session back into DeskView, because Apple keeps Safari’s cookies separate.

Open the address-bar menu and choose Save for Offline. Saved pages appear in the Saved list, alongside Bookmarks and History, and you can open them later with no connection. The free app includes up to 10 saved pages. DeskView Pro unlocks unlimited saved pages, folders, and a reader-style text view. Pages you already saved stay readable if you don’t upgrade.

Yes. PDFs open in a native viewer with zoom, a page count, and search. You can Share a PDF or Save to Files. Highlighting a PDF is part of DeskView Pro.

Open Settings in DeskView and tap Restore Purchases. Apple checks the App Store account signed in on your iPhone. DeskView Pro is a one-time $2.99 unlock and includes Family Sharing, so a purchase made by a family organizer can be restored on a family member’s device when Family Sharing is set up. Purchases go through Apple; we never see your payment details. If you need a refund, request it from Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com.

Desktop mode, tabs, favorites, history, PDF viewing, and 10 saved offline pages stay free. For $2.99 once, Pro adds unlimited offline pages and folders, Reader view, per-site settings, a custom user agent, an ad and tracker blocker, PDF highlighting, and themes and alternate app icons. There’s also an optional tip jar. There is no subscription and no account.

No. The app has no accounts, no analytics, and no server. History, favorites, saved pages, and website data stay on your iPhone. See the privacy policy for the full details.
