Is it possible to show a Facebook app as a Page Tab on mobile devices?

Tags:

For example, the following URL shows the app in a tab:

https://www.facebook.com/just.to.get.a.rep?sk=app_203403406338325

But when on a mobile device it redirects to the mobile site and does not show the tab or even have a link to it:

https://m.facebook.com/just.to.get.a.rep?sk=app_203403406338325

I even have the application tab set as the Default Landing Tab for this page, but cannot get the pap to show for the page. Is there another format we need to develop for the App to support mobile? Ideally we would like to show the tab on iPhone app and other mobile viewing.

Can I add a custom tab to Facebook page?

Besides standard tabs like "About", "Events" or "Photos" you can add custom Page tabs via the Facebook platform. These custom Page tabs load content from your webserver using an iframe. Page tabs will only be displayed in the web UI.

What is a Facebook Page tab?

Application tabs are separate pages inside your Facebook profile, as indicated by the arrows in the screenshot below. This is very similar to how tabs work in modern browsers such as Firefox, Chrome and Internet Explorer. You click on a tab to be taken to a new page.

If you're in control of the link the user clicks on to reach your fanpage/pagetab-combination, then try adding a GET parameter ref=ts

h++ps://www.facebook.com/just.to.get.a.rep?sk=app_203403406338325&ref=ts

Apparently this prevents the redirect to the mobile version of facebook.
