Unfortunately, Airtable has neglected the mobile experience for years, which makes no sense since the vast majority of people use mobile devices to access the Internet.
People have been begging Airtable to fix this particular problem for ages, but Airtable ignores most user requests. It makes it very challenging to be an Airtable evangelist, when they continually ignore our most pressing needs.
Besides clicking on that “View Larger Version” link in the lower right corner (which opens up a NON-embedded view), there is only one known way to workaround this problem:
You would need to force your mobile web browser to view the web page as a desktop web browser. On iOS devices, you can click on the little “Aa” icon that appears in the toolbar, and choose “Request Desktop Website”. You can also set the website settings from that menu to ALWAYS open that page as a desktop website.
This is obviously not a desirable solution for most people. You can’t start telling all your customers to change their browser settings in order to search your website’s products.
So you should also email support@airtable.com to ask them to fix this problem. You can join the chorus of people who have asked for this issue to be fixed.
The more you use Airtable, the more you’ll realize that it is a relatively dysfunctional product with no rhyme or reason as to what its engineering team will focus on next. Most Airtable features are half-baked — and then neglected afterwards.
