Workarounds such as "view source" apps external to the browser, while useful in some cases, are at best an imperfect partial solution to the original request. I'm sure there are plenty of browsers that intentionally prevent the user from viewing page source, and if so then you're out of luck, except maybe for workarounds like the ones offered here. So how it's accessed, or even if it can be accessed, is up to the developers of the browser. Providing a "universal" method for viewing source in a feature phone browser (or even arbitrary third-party smartphone browser) is impossible because "view source" - via any method - is a feature implemented in the browser. This question is a few years old, and there are some good suggestions for workarounds, but I didn't really notice any answers that address the core of the original question head-on. Delete whatever was previously saved in the Address field and instead paste in the Javascript code. Open the "Bookmarks" in Safari and opt to Edit the newly created Show Page Source bookmark.Next browse to this exact Stack Overflow answer on your phone and copy the javascript code below to your phone clipboard (code credit: Rob Flaherty):.Delete the page title and replace it with something useful like "Show Page Source".Select the "Share" (or action") button in Safari (looks like a square with an arrow coming out of the top).
Open Safari and browse to an arbitrary page.It worked flawlessly for me and now I have it set as a permanent bookmark any time I want, with no app installed.Įdit: There are basically 6 steps which should work for either Chrome or Safari. I found this nice quick tutorial for how to setup a bookmark on mobile safari that will automatically open the view source of a page: There are apps I could have installed to do this I guess but for whatever reason I just preferred to do it myself rather than install 'yet another app'. The view-source url prefix trick didn't work for me using chrome on an iphone.
