@uncle

i tried that and no luck. Looks identical. Not sure if it's because iOS 13 or ?

I thought there was a tab somewhere on the forum to switch like on other forums I've been on. No worries thanks for the help though 👍🏽

Sorry I can't help with iOS (Android user here), but I do know the 'request desktop' setting you're looking for is within the mobile browser (it's not a setting here on the site).

I'll see if perhaps @K-in-Boston or @CreditCuriosity will be able to provide some iOS 13-specific assistance.

Thank you, thank you, thank you @Brian_Earl_Spilner a million times for this!

I sent @UncleB a PM this morning because I have been pulling my hair out since Sunday when I upgraded to IOS13. Thank you UncleB for providing the link.

So, I read and read, and it took me a while to still figure it out--kind of slow I guess. So, I am putting pictures here so others can figure it out quicker than I did.

Once myFICO uploads, click AA in the top left-hand corner of the page and select Request Desktop Website. FYI: It toggles between Request Mobile Website. I uploaded wrong picture
