Can you access iCloud web interface from ios safari?

Can you access iCloud website from its safari on ipad2? Each time I load iCloud.com it just asks me set up iCloud on this device or set up find my iPad etc. was wanting to share my reminders but can't be bothered to go turn my pc on to access iCloud via that. Surely there is a way to access the web side of iCloud from an iOS device?

I found another solution that worked reasonably well for me. I downloaded a free Remote Desktop VNC app then connected over the network to my Mac. I was able to open the full iCloud.com site using the Mac's Safari browser through the VNC and then was able to add/update group names and addresses through the virtual connection to my desktop. Not the best solution, but this worked better for me than the Chrome desktop connection method described above - that connection seemed glitchy.

I Had the same problem but there is a simply fix. when you reach iCloud.com and are faced with the set up iCloud options, click the options button on safari (I.e the page with an up arrow coming out of it. Not sure of the technical name for this button but it is usually used to print or forward web pages, pictures etc) and click the 'request desktop version'. This will refresh the page as if you are connected via a Mac or PCs and you can log in as normal.


You may need to unhide the 'request desktop version' button. This is done via the option button (see above), scroll through the list of grey options at the bottom usual starting with print then copy etc. Until you reach the more button. Select this and the request desktop version is there. Once selected it is elevated to a higher rank and appears in the list of options along with print copy etc.
