Remove status bar and icons related on iPad Air 4

Hi, i use an iPad Air 4, i turned on guided access on my newly purchased AppStore game but even with guided access the status bar info on top of the screen are still there.

i could remove some of it in apple settings but not all : icons remain visible.

Please do you know a way to totally remove it ?


Thanks for your help,

Hey No_expression6835,



Thanks for posting your question in Apple Support Communities.



Unfortunately, there isn't a way to remove items from the status bar on the iPad Air. The layout of the screen depends entirely on the app that you are using at the time. If the status bar is showing, it is usually because that is what the app developer allows.


If you would like to recommend that Apple add this feature, you can do so by leaving feedback at this link: Product Feedback.



Best Wishes.

Hi i_rina,


Thanks for your answer,


I found a way to remove it for this app in particular but i don’t know if it will also work for other apps i will use in future :

I applied “Smart Invert” 2 times in the app and it worked for this app.

You can find “Smart Invert” in your Apple Settings -> Accessibility -> Accessibility Shortcut -> Then you add “Smart Invert”.

This will allow you to use Smart Invert in-app , you can even add it to your Control Center if you wish.


Thanks for your link as i will still use it to leave my feedback,


Regards
