request desktop site in Safari

If you see the mobile website and want to see desktop version of website

Simply tap the address bar to bring up your bookmarks and recent history

then swipe down to reveal some hidden option at the top

find request desktop site and tap on it now safari will be reloaded the web page and you can see the desktop version of website

I could not find this on Apple's support site, the feature has changed the way it is implemented in iOS9.

When on a mobile site, touch and hold on the refresh symbol on the right side of the address bar. It will show "request desktop site"

Link below is where I first found the solution.

The second question was about do you have to do this for every bookmark, I have not tried this solution more than once, please post back with your results.

Reckonankit, I don't want to repeat these steps for every site.

There is no global setting for iOS Safari to force automatic request for full site every time you navigate to a new site. Most sites should remember your setting choice in cookies, so once you've requested the full site, it should take you back to that unless you delete cookies. But, not all sites behave that way, and yes, then you must request the full site overtime you go to the site.

Here's the last paragraph. What's the question, please ?

It’s important to note that requesting a desktop website doesn’t always work as intended on each and every website. For instance, some websites might switch you to their enhanced mobile edition rather than to the full desktop version.

Know that web developers have the tools at their disposal to override your preference and I’ve seen a fair share of websites that pop right back into mobile mode.

There is an update to the procedure for iOS9, see solution link at:
