- We start by entering the mobile settings.
- Next, click on the panel section.
- Finally, we will enter the Xiaomi Full Screen Mode.
In this section, all the apps that we have on our mobile will appear, both those of the system itself and those that we have installed manually through the Play Store or another way. Just by checking or unchecking the applications we will be telling our phone that take advantage of the entire front of the screen regardless of the bottom bar or the type of notch we have. To play video on YouTube, for example, it can be very useful.
system wide
The option that we have been able to see previously is very good for specific cases or specific applications, but what happens if we always want to enjoy the entire screen on Xiaomi, that is, if we want it to always be at its maximum size when we are browsing, for example, for the MIUI settings. This can be solved in three ways, which could vary depending on our model or the version of the Chinese customization layer that we have installed on the device.
Use MIUI gestures
If we get rid of the buttons that appear on the screen and opt to use the increasingly popular gestures, we will be gaining a fabulous space for see more contents in MIUI. A simple process that we will obtain as follows:
- We access the settings of our mobile smartphone.
- Afterwards, we go to the Additional Settings.
- We choose the option to play in full.
- Finally, we will have to change the option to put the Xiaomi on full screen.
Within this same option, it will be good to know how to activate or deactivate the indicator with which you can see the area in which you can make a gesture in the form of a semicircle from the center to the left or right to go between applications without accessing the section multitask. To do this, all we have to do is go to the Xiaomi mobile settings> Additional settings> Full screen mode> Hide full screen indicator.
Once this function is enabled, we can see a small white bar at the bottom of the device’s touch screen. In this case, what it does is indicate or show the area where they must make a gesture from left to right to move between applications. On the other hand, if we deactivate this tool, the indicator will not appear in the bar. Although, we can continue using the gesture to move between applications.
However, it is something that we can only use if we use the default Xiaomi launcher, even if we use the POCO Launcher, we will not be able to opt for this function.
Don’t hide the notch
There are many Xiaomi, Redmi or POCO smartphones that have a notch and therefore use the same MIUI system to hide it. Although it is a very useful function if we want to go back to the past with displays without holes or these measurements. But, nevertheless, it also makes us lose part of the Chinese mobile panel.
To recover it, we will have to go to Settings> Display> Notch and status bar> Hide notch. The ideal choice for get the full display of our Xiaomi mobile is the one that does not hide the notch and leaves it as it is. Of course, keep in mind that these steps may vary depending on the MIUI layer that we have installed on the Chinese device.
with an app
In the case of not finding the option on our Xiaomi mobile, it is always possible that we have to use a third-party application created for this purpose. One of the best is FullScreen Immersive, which will allow us to maximize each software to use the full size of the screen. Although, the main drawback is that we will not find it on Google Play, but rather it is available only in apk.
This app, which does not require root permissions of any kind, it adds several display options to the taskbar. Basically, what we will achieve is that, when running an app, we will be able to slide the bar down and change the type of display of it in a matter of seconds. But, as we were saying, the problem is that we cannot find it within the Google store, so we will have to download the file from an external app website.
But, for this, we must give the necessary permissions to the phone so that we can install unknown tools. To activate this, we must follow these steps:
- Go into Settings.
- Tap on the Privacy Protection section > tap on Special Permissions.
- Now, tap on the Install Unknown Apps option.
- Select the browser that you normally use and in which you will later use to download this app.
- Finally, activate the option Authorize downloads from this source.
