How do I access Asana from my iPad without using the App?

Solution for ios (also for ipad?) without uninstalling the app… (a variation on what Joe Thomas originally published)

  1. On your phone, open Safari > Go to app.asana.com
  2. Log in - yes this will redirect to the app but at least now you’re “logged in”
  3. Go back to Safari and go again to app.asana.com
  4. It’ll show you the blue woman on the bus pic w/button to “Open in the Asana app”
  5. Now, tap the Safari’s aA icon at top left and choose “Request Desktop Website”

ONLY DO THAT ONCE? YES!

  1. Tap the aA again and select “Website Settings”
  2. Turn on ‘Request Desktop Website’ (while viewing app.asana.com)

It’s a little tricky to navigate the website, even from my larger iphone XS screen, so few tips:

A. ***You’ll need to work with left sidebar collapsed to see the whole screen - sometimes can’t swipe left to get to the right side of the page (dashboard, task info…) - only open it for navigation (or used search)
B. Turn the phone 90 degrees to see longer lines
C. Use the same aA icon from instructions above to make the size larger (good thing that only applies to that specific Safari page)

Other tips for using the website version on mobile…?
