The Mail Sidebar is fixed in landscape orientation - and cannot be suppressed.


The Safari Sidebar can be hidden. If the Book icon to the left of the address bar is highlighted blue, the sidebar is active and visible. Tap the book icon - and the sidebar will be hidden.


This setting is “sticky”; if the Safari window is closed whist the Book icon is blue, Safari will re-open next time with the sidebar visible. By contrast, if the Safari window is closed while the book icon is white, Safari will re-open with the sidebar hidden.
