I am sure there is a quick easy fix to this since putting in the vertical bars must have taken additional effort on top of the original no bars experience. So please make the vertical grey bars optional (leave it on as default if you care more about blocked content) in the View Settings. Some people might want zero obstruction of content but most people want full use of screen space, as do I.

Please add an option to turn off those grey bars.

I’m on iPhone 11 Pro Max, to provide context. The grey bars really exacerbates the reading experience when held horizontal.

If something is hidden in horizontal view, the user can switch back to vertical view to show everything. Because of this, it would be useful to also change the standard view to full screen (without grey bars). Thanks!

Same problem on iPhone XS Max. It would be great to use the space especially when zooming in! (Standard view can stay with grey bars). Thanks!

Hello - We've prevented the content from appearing under the notch so that there are no cases where the content cannot be viewed. We've also taken this approach while zooming, though I understand your request that on zooming in, we should use that space.

(iPhone X/S/R) When I turn my phone to horizontal view, I see two gray bands on the edges of the screen. I would appreciate a lot a setting to remove them and see FULL Screen.
Thank you
