What to do If you are having difficulties with the new Compose page on Mobile.
Many SteemALive members using steemit.com through their mobile device have already complained of inability to make their post as usual because the new Compose page interface is jittery. The challenges include random characters appearing as they try to type their story and inability to delete them without making other characters appear.
The challenge on mobile
These challenges are well documented now and have prevented many mobile users from composing a post since the new changes. So after looking at the situation of the mobile users, I decided to make this tutorial which shows how other mobile users having the same challenge have been able to get aroud the issue.
Enable Desktop Browsing on Chrome.
This is the solution that many mobile users used to get around the issue. So the following steps will help you enable desktop browsing for Chrome.
Step 1: Click on the 3 dots at the top right -hand side of your Chrome browser to reveal a menu. Check the image below.
So with this Desktop viewing mode, your compose page is no longer optimized to a mobile screen size. The Page will display the width of a normal desktop PC. But this mode allows for all functions and features of the new compose page to work properly. The only disadvantage is that you have to zoom to the compose part of the page.
The Desktop mode has been confirmed to allow you compose your posts properly on a mobile device using the new interface. So for all mobile users experiencing challenge with the new GUI, this is a quick fix.
In the next tutorial, I will explain how to use the icons on the new Compose post page to format your posts well
Ok sir
Yes. It will be of great help @gloriois08
I am currently in trouble. Let's see if I can get used to it. Thanks for sharing
@stefano.massari. I tried it and others have tried it. Its working well.
thanks for the feedback, I think it's just a matter that I have to get used to.
I was almost scared ooo, when my phone was just typing Rubbish. Thanks so much sir @focusnow from @lewas-write
@lewas-write. It was not your fault. Some web scripts do not function completely as they should if you are viewing them through a mobile device. Thats why some website features are not available on mobile.
Ohhhh okk sir... I'll keep trying it until I gain Mastery sir @focusnow
Thank you boss @focusnow, at first I was worried but this gard really helped. God bless you sir
Happy that you are able to overcome the challenge. @aaron1990
Ahhh. Thank God I saw this.. I was already angry
@beewrites. Sorry for the inconveniences. The new features with icons are actually better than using commands to format a post
Ok sir. Thank you
Thanks for sharing this post .... I have been having problem here.
Let me try it now.
Hope it works out well for you. Many recorded success using this method @pricelesspresh
Yes I have use it to make a post..
... Is seems very easy than the formal.
Thanks for your help
Wow! Straight up. Thank you so much. It was quite strange when I signed being a first timer but I subdued it some how.
Interesting @nneoma08. Nice that you have been able to overcome it. More wins ahead.
Thanks Boss
Thanks for this.
I am yet to get acquainted with those features. I was surprised to see them as it was tough for me to maneuver while trying to create a post a few hours ago. But I scaled through by using another alternative.
@maxwellmarcusart. Happy that you succeeded at last. The new GUI is always better than using commands to format posts. I will soon do a post to explain that to newbies.
You are right but you know we are already used to the previous system. Readjusting to this new system ain't easy that much.
Wouldnt expect it to be easy at all. I did a follow up post because many of our community members are still asking questions:

Thank you Sir for the update, this feature has really limited a lot of write-up today.
@yuceetoria. Am very sorry about it. Happy you can fix it now.
You are indeed a life saver, many of my colleagues in the office who were using the site with their phones were also having issues and we were even angry that we said the older version was better than the new version because of the problem we were facing.
I was beginning to think how I was going to be doing my post on Steemit, although I have a desktop but phone makes it easy at least one can stay anywhere and still do his or her article but using a desktop requires one sitting down at home to do that and I wasn't in the mood of using a desktop.
Thank you for this great article that has saved me from this dilemma and I glad , I saw this on time and I hope to share this with my other colleagues.
very happy for you too. Steem to the moon!!!!
Thanks
