How to Insert Facebook Page on Mobile Site
Share on: 
fb share twitter share gplus share more share

I've been messing around with iframing a client's Facebook page onto their mobile site and it was not working so well. Not like you can with a desktop page using their code inside the developer's area.

I ended up figuring out an easy solution and it looks terrific on my Android.

When you insert a client's FB link on a mobile site, it shows the desktop page, even on a mobile device.

To get the mobile version to show, just insert "m" before the url, then the rest of the URL.

For example,

http://m.facebook.com/pages/rest-of-URL

Facebook apparently does not have a redirect to the mobile version automatically, but one is there.

So on your mobile demo sites, be sure to put a Facebook tab to show how nice a company fan page can look on mobile devices.

My understanding and testing does show that FB has a mobile version and simply redirects to the URL you are refering to, so there is no need to make any changes as the visitor still goes to same page.

That's weird, I tried it on my android to a client's page and it showed the entire desktop page. I guess whatever works. I was surprised there was no redirect but either way works.
