iPadOS now shows Safari on my iPad Pro 2020 in iPhone format. How can I get Safari full screen again?
P.S. This forum offers me „iPad“ as a category when posting and then indicates iOS 9, even though I have long since upgraded to an iPad Pro 2020 running iPadOS 14.
iPad, iOS 9
Without a screenshot, it’s difficult to be certain exactly what you are seeing. However, on the basis of your description, I suspect that you have managed to enable a Safari Slide Over view - this being a major multitasking feature of iPadOS, fully detailed in the iPad User Guide for iPadOS.
Here is the easy way to change the Slide Over view, to full screen...
Identify the small grey drag-bar at top-centre of the Slide Over window. Touch-and-drag the drag-bar to the top-centre of the screen - and lift your finger; the Slide Over window will transform into a full screen view.

The iPad User Guide for iPadOS is also a rich source of information. Here are links to both the downloadable and online versions of the Guide:

I hope this explanation and additional information is helpful in resolving any difficulties you may be having with Multitasking features of your iPad.
