So, I am trying to access my Google+ account but I can not get passed the log in page. The log in page is the desktop version, then I type my info in and it redirects me to a mobile version that presents nothing but the Google logo in the upper left hand corner with the option of Gmail. What gives? I don't want a mobile version on my iPad. So is there a way to work around the mobile redirection?

Try it with another browser, and set user agent to desktop. That should do the trick

So, I used a different browser, but I'm pretty sure it's on Google's side as far as it not showing up on Safari at all. While attempting to switch from the mobile setting to the desktop setting it prompted me to download a new browser that supported it. So, I guess we'll have to wait it out.

Weird! Try just logging into your gmail, then clicking in the very top, upper left corner for your plus account. That's how I did it, then just bookmarked the page.

I log into my Gmail account (which defaults to a mobile version as well) and then tap on the Google+ logo in the top left and we are back to the original problem. Are you able to use Google+ on your iPad? Is anyone able to?

So I'd have to use a different browser to access my account? No thank you. I guess I'll have to wait for Google to fix their side. Thanks anyway guys!

Google+ works just fine for me either in mobile or desktop mode so likely just your issue. Sorry don't know how to fix your problem though.

So if it's just isolated to me, what could possibly be different? Is there something different comparing settings between iPads, or settings in Google+? I've searched and searched and I am at a loss
