iPad users

i may be the last to know, but I discovered something new today.  

If I tap on the address line up there ^^^ then pull down the menu I get "request desktop site".  Now I have the hover feature and access to all the emoticons.  

Still think I need to go to chrome to post photos etc but it's better than nothing.

Nope you weren't the last to know

Thanx

I cant seem to get it to work *sob
I just keep dragging down the black holland blind with my calendar on it.

That is all I got too, tttt. The calendar/diary thing. I have already downloaded the latest ios, in the last couple of days. iOS 8.1.2

az - I am thinking about buying an ipad mini, is it much less useful than an ipad?

I bought the mini ipad as I thought it would be best to take when away from home. I would probably prefer the bigger screened Ipad Air if i used it mostly at home. Although it doesn't really matter as I have a laptop, netbook (smaller screen but larger than mini ipad) and the mini ipad.

Nah, just tap on the address bar.  When you see your favourites etc then you drag down. Com'on guys, if I can do it .........  LOL

Just checked again, no, then tried again and it is there. Will have to see if I can get that again.

tttt- hit the address bar, not right at the top where the calendar thing drops down from.

Yes, once the favourites icons comes up, then you need to flick page  down from anywhere on it...the new bits appear above the top row of icons.

If lurks hadn't told us, we wouldn't  have known it was there!

Yes, just checked. I am 8.1.2 and updated in the last few days as well.
I love my ipad, I like the bigger screen, and wouldnt want to go smaller.
Great on my lap or in bed and for travelling.

Oh wow 

i got there in the end.

Took a while though...

In Safari all the tool bar options in the reply box available.

Me too, tttt. I only saw it come up when I put the ipad down in disgust when only the icons came up, and must have swished the screen doing that, then I saw the missing bits at the top.

The other option for a portable "tablet", if anyone needs a new phone as well, is to look at the iPhone6 plus. Smaller again than the mini.

just bought an iPhone as my htc died. The plus was going to be too big for me to hold comfortably as a phone, but does work as a compromise for some 🙂

but

have heard that the plus can be bendy in a pocket, and that the camera takes out of focus piccies...so research if interested
