Of course, this is hardly a major feature and most mobile browsers give users the option to use desktop sites. In fact, Microsoft Edge on Windows 10 Mobile has had the ability for a whole. However, Microsoft had yet to bring it to iOS. With the implementation now available on beta, it should be coming to iPhone and iPad users soon. Firstly, it will have to pass through testing on the beta app. If you are unfamiliar with Microsoft Edge beta, it is Microsoft’s browser in a testing environment. For users of the company’s TestFlight program, Edge beta delivers upcoming features ahead of their full release. Typically, when a feature lands in beta, it arrives to the full Edge iOS experience within weeks a few months. In other words, expect the ability to choose between mobile or desktop site to debut soon on the full app.

Microsoft has rolled out some interesting features for Edge on iOS this year. Visual Search lets users upload an image to the web to find information.
