Can’t fullscreen on chrome videoplayer websites on ipad ios 15

Having the same issue. Everything was fine before the update and I accidentally left my iPad plugged in over night and it auto updated. Now every time I click the full screen button or double tap the video window the icon will change like it switched to full screen but the video player stays the same not in full screen.


Haven’t tried it with safari because no one uses it because it is bad. Friends that are die hard apple fanatics even talk about how bad safari is.

Hey guys, same here. Tryna to watch anime but videos icon just change to maximized but it doesn’t actually maximize.


For now, I found temporary fix: use Mozilla Firefox


I know it sucked for some people, including me.. but it’s only thing that is alright but works.


Y’all should report it to chrome.

Hey RealRedBird,


We'll be happy to help out with this issue related to watching videos in the Chrome browser.


Just to confirm, are you able to view these videos in the Safari browser? Is only one website affected or can you not watch videos on multiple sites?


Keep us updated!
