you cannot stretch an app to full screen anymore. 

It used to work on OneUI6. Example, you cannot stretch Duolingo the entire way.

Hi arankays,

Could you please tell us what is the model of your device? Is this issue started after the update? Were you previously able to force apps to full screen or landscape on this device?

It is an S10 FE tablet. I enabled the feature in labs but the app doesn't stretch the entire way. You can try with the Facebook app. Or the Duolingo app. 1745854464132.jpg

What app are you trying to stretch to full screen in landscape? 

I don't seem to have any issues on my S25 Ultra One UI V7.0.

Facebook for example. Duolingo for example. It doesn't stretch the entire way. Can you share a screenshot? This is what it looks like. Duolingo doesn't stretch the entire way. 1745854539823.jpg

Hi arankays,

The Force Full Screen feature in Labs is experimental and depends on how the app is designed. Some apps, like Facebook, aren’t fully optimized for tablets yet and may not stretch completely even with this feature enabled.

We recommend trying the Facebook Lite app or using Facebook through a browser for a better full-screen experience.

Thank you.

But it worked in One 6.1 on the S10+. In fact you can still stretch it wide via pop up view. So it's a Samsung bug. 1745855079815.jpg

It could be a Duolingo bug, not having been updated for Android 15 / One UI V7.0.

I don't have any apps where I can't view them in full screen in landscape.

Which portrait apps of yours are stretching correctly?

Look fine to me.  

I'm not going to list all the apps that I think are fine in landscape.
