Links in emails only open in small window. How do I return to having them open in full screen? I can drag the window off but can’t resize it. I’m sure this is supposed to be a feature but it makes reading any link more difficult.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 13

Perhaps you have opened a preview window? A long-touch on a link will open a Preview window - with an action menu - whereas a simple tap should open the link. When opening a link, you may also have enabled a Safari Slide Over view.


Preview, Slide-over and Split-view are also multitasking features 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.
