Resize iPad Pro display for screen protector?

I have an iPad Pro. I bought a screen/body protector, and the viewing frame now blocks about a 1/8 inch all the way around the iPad, so my clock is missing the left 2 digits, and my battery life icon shows half a battery, and the top edge is cut off. Is there a way to resize the primary window so it all fits inside the viewing frame of the protector?

iPad, iPadOS 17

Resizing the iPad's display to accommodate a bad iPad case design is not possible.


The only recourse I can see is to purchase a different iPad case ("screen/body protector") that does not interfere with the iPad's display.


Certain guidelines for iPad cases must be met by the developers of these accessories. It's clear that the brand you are using is not following the proper guidelines set by Apple.


Remove the case or get a different one that doesn't interfere with the iPad's display.
