When I rotate my iPhone 6+ to get landscape view of a Safari page in iOS (8.1.2), the left 40% of the screen is filled with a list of bookmarks (or other things) that I don't want, instead of providing a wider view of the page. I can't find any preference to get rid of this: is there a way?
The open book should now be simple outlined in blue still to the left of the URL. To get the Bookmarks panel back, click the open book again.
Note: There is an open book box in the Bookmarks pane. That is not the right one and will only bring up the list of booksmarks and make you frustrated. Be sure you're clicking the one to the left of the URL. If you don't see the URL go back to step #1.
I'm using 6s but assume the process is similar with other iPhone versions.

No, at the moment, I don't think there is a way how to do it.

I hope your problem is solved. If you have any problems and/or questions, click the reply button below.
Nest to the < > on the left upper side - is an icon that looks like an Open book - see if tapping that makes the bookmarks list go away
(Just tried it on mine and it seems to work)
Thanks
I tried this a couple of times with no result, but finally got it to work. And it seems to have stuck, also yielding the expanded keyboard I'd heard about. Not sure what's up, but thanks!!
You are very welcome
Please let us know if you have any other questions
Enjoy your device!
AActually, the same problem exists in Mail: when I rotate the iPad to get a landscape view, the left third of the display is taken up by the list of items in the mail folder (e.g. Inbox). That list can be removed in portrait view by clicking on the message, but there doesn't seem to be any way to make it go away in landscape view, so as to use the whole display for the message.
There is Back Inbox and Edit at the top and next to that are two arrows in opposite directions -
Click on that icon and check ....
That just replaces the listing of the contents of Inbox with a list of all mailboxes. I want to make the list panel go away entirely (as it does in portrait mode).
Not on mine it does not -
It actually does exactly what I think you are asking for
Can you post a screen capture of your machine in the landscape mode before and after pressing on the double arrows?
Thanks
TThe problem for me is that this double arrow icon is almost never present. Maddeningly, I have seen it once or twice (most recently in reading the mail reporting your most recent answer in this thread!), Usually that space is just empty on both my iPad Mini-R and iPhone 6+. When it's there it works as you describe, but usually it's not there at all.
Look for the BLUE Open Book icon. It may NOT be next to these arrows < > but rather ABOVE them. Either way, the icon you're looking for will be just to the left of the Addess Box. When the Open Book icon is blue, the Bookmarks Menu will be displayed. Tap the Blue Open Book icon. It will turn White and the Bookmark Menu will be gone, thus allowing the webpage to fill the entire screen while in Landscape.
This worKS. THANK YOU.
Anyone have a solution?
The above doesnt make sense. There are no arrows. Does anyone have actual, complete steps for a solution?
