Not able to hide navigation bar and bottom bar when tap on page in Books app.

Earlier in books app there was a thing when I single tap on page it hides the navigation bar and bottom bar, but after updating to iOS 15 I’m not able to do that. Navigation and bottom bar stays still even when tap on page.

Not sure if I’m missing some settings over here or what.

iPhone XR, iOS 15

I came across

mateuszfromczęstochowa‘s workaround in another thread: disabling full keyboard access for hardware keyboards.


  1. Open the "Settings" app.
  2. Tap on "Accessibility".
  3. Tap on "Keyboards" in the "Physical and Motor" group.
  4. Disable "Full Keyboard Access" for "Hardware Keyboards".


Return to the Books app and tap to enjoy some chrome-free reading!
