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.

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.

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.

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.
