S8 Full Screen Instagram

[Rorymcconnell]

Hi. Is there a way to exit the full screen option on Instagram/Snapchat? It's greyed out in my full screen options in settings. 

Thanks.

Hey @Rorymcconnell

If an application is optimised to be a full screen app, you're unable to exit full screen. Because Instagram and Snapchat are optimised to run full screen, you can't do this. 

The option for Full Screen Apps within Settings is there so users can use the full screen on the S8 and S8+, even if the app hasn't been optimised for use with Infinity Display by the developer.

But it's badly optimized! It cuts off the sides of the photo when using the Story feature and then when someone is viewing that photo on a standard 16:9 phone, their screen cuts of the top and bottom of the photo! It ends up zoomed in by like 15%

Yes, it is very badly optimized, I found particularly annoying not been able to read the beginning or end of most texts close to edges in stories.

Double tap the dot on the left of the bottom bar. Update your software if it isn't there.

Lol that is not how to remove the it tool bar.that is how to hide the touch wiz tool bar.the ok says he is using it in full screen.i have my tool bar hidden and status bar hidden using immersive mode.but the it app is not full screen there is the it bar at the bottom .here is a screen shot of ig as you can see the Instagram tool bar is there

Everyone has that tool bar in regular IG mode, we are talking about when watching stories our screens are zoomed.
