As the description states I updated my Iphone X to IOS 14 and now many app's don't use the full screen. I have Zoom turned off and have power cycled my phone. App's like facebook, Weather Bug, Chrome and many others have a gap between the top and bottom of the screen when in portrait mode.
iPhone X
I figured it out. Go to Settings -> Display & Brightness. Then go to the bottom to the Display Zoom. Change the View to Standard.
I have the exact same issue on my iPhone X
all other family iPhones (11, Xs, 11 pro, iPad) are working fine.
this must be a apple bug, please help
I found the solution. Look further down this string.
Same problem after upgrade to 14 doesn’t use full screen in apps. Updated apps no help, restarted no help. Zoom on standard no help.
And you tried the suggestion to change the zoom setting already?
this fixed my problem too. I initially had zoomed to see the app icons bigger but why would the display size of apps be reduced? Sounds like a bug.
I’m using the same phone and facing the same issue. I hope it's not a new trick of apple to update the phone like the battery scam months back where they intentionally reduced the battery life.
Oh wow it's working perfectly thanks for the suggestion
Thank u. It helped me👏🏻
Wow, was looking for ways to bring full screen. And this worked🤩
Agreed. What the heck ap hole
Thank you so much! This worked for my iPhone xs
That was the trick. Thanks
Hirainforest it doesn't work like a charm because the problem only happens with zoomed mode. Of course if u set to standard there is no problem....
All the core Apple app's are fine. EVERY other application has this issue. Waze, Google maps, Garmin Connect, Facebook, Messenger, Venmo, the list goes on and on. I just noticed that Twitter is OK. Strange. I did a graceful shut down and a graceful power up.
Whilst this answer is helpful it does not solve the problem. For those that want or need Display Zoom the sacrifice is that a large proportion of 3rd party apps don't recognise the iPhone X or later as an iPhone X or later and present an iPhone 8 screen.
Apple's wonderful support team suggests Reseting All Settings wasting an hour of my time re-setting up everything from Face ID to Apple Pay and all my cards etc etc... Alternatively they request leaving feedback. This is not a feedback issue. It is a case of Apple changing the way iOS14 deals with Display Zoom and Apple is not acknowledging that developers need to update a specific area of code that deals with how an app is recognised with Display Zoom in iOS14. There were no instances of this in iOS13 that I ever came across so the developers in the past were using the correct instructions within their app. Why doesn't Apple acknowledge this and guide developers on the correct code?
Instead they waste the time of their users and pretend that no one knows about that the issue exists at all.
