How to Activate Full Screen Mode on Mobile with Hole-punch Screen

Mobile phones with hole-punch screen have become quite common in the market, no matter the range in which we look, there are cameras inside a hole in the screen in all manufacturers. And today we tell you how you can take full advantage of it with any app. Going beyond even the hole for the camera.

Activate Full Screen Mode on Mobile with Perforated Screen

Hole-punch cameras have become an excellent alternative to the maligned notch, so much so that most new phones already boast of them in place of the notch in the form of a drop of water. The problem is that sometimes the apps do not use the portion of the screen that is below this front camera. Now we propose you to be able to use this area of the screen with any app, or at least with as many as possible.

So you can expand the screen beyond the camera

Although the operating system of our mobile phone usually comes already configured so that the apps do not exceed the area where the front camera is integrated into the screen, we can force those apps to be able to expand further.

In fact, in mobiles that have Android versions closer to AOSP and that in turn have a camera integrated into the screen, where we can find a function in the operating system to expand the screen to take advantage of everything .

How is this option activated?

Well, this is a native feature on most Android phones with such a front camera. To activate it we just have to do the following:

  • Enter the phone settings
  • Select “Screen”
  • Click on “advanced”
  • Select the “Full Screen” button

Now within this menu we will see a small explanation of what it means to activate this mode. In addition, an animation is shown that makes the effect of this function quite clear when activated. When activated, the apps that are prepared for it, expand beyond the Hole-punch camera and show all the content, even behind this camera. Logically, there may be some of the content that is covered by the hole, but the screen as a whole will take more advantage.

This option can be activated only in certain apps or in all , depending on the experience we are having with each of these apps and the Hole-punch screen of our phone. It is a function that undoubtedly allows us to have a larger screen space to enjoy with our phone and its various apps. And as we say, it all depends on how compatible each app is with each of these modes, if they are optimized, if they are not, even if we activate this function, we will not notice any changes.
