When I open attachments on iPad I only get half the the screen with attachment . Is there a software issue or can it be changed by doing something in programming

How can I change getting half screen when viewing attachments like docs. Usually comes up on right side and would be 1/4th the page .how can I make it appear on full. Screen

iPad, iPadOS 14

You have clearly 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.
