There is no full screen mode on iPad. That is an iPhone/iPod only feature.
You can use other browsers such as Chrome if you really need Full screen on the iPad.
Because it gives you more screen real estate.
Add me to the list of people who wish to hide the address bar. For me, it's not necessarily a matter of screen real estate, but it takes away from my webapp looking like a real app. I don't know how to develop real apps, nor do I have the money to pay for the developer license, so webapps are the way for me. And I want them to actually look like apps instead of just webpages.
My 2¢
Hey everyone
I hope lot if you guys know this, today, Apple released iOS 7.1 to the public. I updated over the air on my iPad Air and it's worth to do this, if exes letter bugs and crashes much fluid and responsive. However Safari is still not fullscreen. Well, I hope Apple really makes Safari full-screen on iPad Air on the next release of iOS.
And STILL no full screen option on ipad!!!!!! I just don't understand why apple won't give us the choice. I thought they were all about the experience....but they don't seem to like giving the user options. So easy to implement! ANNOYED!
Anyone know if they plan to give us the choice of full screen....like on the iphone????
Turn the screen sideways.
I'm currently using my iPad Air in landscape mode however it's not fullscreen.
My fault, I thought they were talking about iPhone for some reason.
The iPad won't do it but it is less distracting at least if you turn off the bookmarks bar.
Hi Phil, is it possible updating to IO7 could have deleted Safari on my iPad mini? Can't find it anywhere. Thanks Paul
Search for it by swiping down on the home screen.
If it isn't there, did you fiddle with Restrictions between upgrades? That's the only way I know of that you could disable Safari with.
If the above checks out, try restating the iPad. Weird behavior sometimes resolves itself this way.
Nope. The Safari App like other preinstalled Apps on the iPad cannot be removed or deleted. They can be hidden, or restricted.
So as Parasprite points out check your restrictions, or use the Spotloght search to try to find it. If its in a folder somewhere Spotlight search will tell you which one.
I agree. I am a website designer and I want to put an iPad frame on my website inside of which i want to put full screen screen shots of the sites i have built which i want to screenshot from my iPad so it gives a graphically genuine experience to the person viewing my site and then they can see exactly what kind of work i have done.
But in safari i can't get the full screen and i am having issues getting the full width of my site displayed too.
the address bar may not take up much room but i simply dont want it present in my screen shots.
+1 really want full screen in safari, too!!!
For full screen first turn on zoom in settings> general> accessibility> zoom. Start the video them tap with three fingers. Place three fingers on screen to position it. Or get the app.
1. You can already fullscreen videos in iPad Safari.
2. What is "the app"?
3. This entire thread is about websites in Safari, and had nothing to do with videos.
