After upgrading to iOS 12, the Apple news app has a sidebar that takes up much of the screen. How do I hide that sidebar so I may once again enjoy the news app in full screen on my iPad?
Thanks for your advice. I wrote comment before I read about imminent fix on later IOS.
There are now 232 reports on the forum with the same question regarding Apple News, iOS12 and iPAD. There is a “hide” button in portrait mode but nothing in landscape. This is unacceptable when viewing (trying) the news in landscape especially if using a keyboard stand/case.
Please report this to Apple using the feedback form at http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html. Hopefully if they receive enough complaints they will remedy this - iOS 12.1 is in beta 1 at the moment so hopefully this will be resolved before public release.
I have reported this as a bug using the link provided in this thread.
BTW...you CAN hide the News sidebar/channel list on macOS 10.14 Mojave...there is no credible reason we shouldn't have this capability on the iPad in landscape mode.
Have just downloaded the public release of iOS 12.1.1 and the sidebar fix for landscape is there. Slight downside is that the setting is not defaultable. In portrait if it is switched off this remains so after closing the app and then re-opening. With the landscape “fix” if switched off and the app is closed and then re-opened it defaults to sidebar on!! A pity but at least it can be turned off again.
Many thanks to all the fellow forum newbies who highlighted the original issue often against the odds according to the profits of doom!
”All’s Well That Ends Well” - almost!
Swiping is an option in portrait mode but not in landscape mode.
