Why apps don't work in full screen ?

So , my ipad mini is opening , Insta , threads , and couple of other apps like this, why it wont open apps in entire screen ? any normal 10$ android tab can do it. Btw , that button on right corner makes it smaller and this is the largest size i can get the app to run.. so much for app optimisation. 😒😒

iPad mini, iPadOS 18

Many Apps designed for iPhone are not coded, by the App Developer, to use the larger screen of an iPad. In such cases, the App may not fill the screen, or may only operate in a fixed screen orientation.


This behaviour is not a fault of your iPad or iPadOS - but is a limitation of the specific App.
