Only using 1/3 of the screen

Some apps are not utilizing the full screen. They are opening in the center of it and I am unable to maximize the pages. Is there a setting I can change so that it utilizes the entire screen? Michelle

Be aware that not all Apps are coded to use the entire available screen. Some Apps, explicitly designed for iPhone, will not occupy the entire screen - but will instead show the equivalent iPhone view centred within the larger iPad screen.


Similarly, some Apps may force display in Portrait screen orientation.
