One of the limitation is being unable to change the Header (or Cover) photo of Twitter on a mobile browser and that is what we will be providing a solution to this morning. Unlike the profile picture, the header photo is more larger in dimensions and it stays right at the top of a user profile picture. It show more details and the location is eye-catching. Though it is against Twitter policy to “directly” use the header photo as a billboard for showing advertisement, most firms use it to showcase their products.
Before we get started there are some things you need to know. First, to be able to change a Twitter header photo without a laptop or a desktop you must be using a smartphone, it should be running Android, iOS, BB10 or Ubuntu. Secondly, you must have one of these mobile browsers installed, Chrome, Mozilla, or Opera. Android built-in browser will do fine as well. If you don’t have any of these browsers on your mobile you can download Google Chrome from here.
Now let’s proceed:
Launch any of the browsers mentioned above and tick “Desktop View” under its settings. Sometimes, depending on the type of the browser it may be written as “Request Desktop Site” or “Show Desktop”, or “Desktop Mode”. Disabling “Speed Mode” in some browsers (i.e UC Mini) can also activate Desktop view.
