Topic: Full Screen Expand Button on iPhone

The Full Screen Expand Button shows up and works when a gallery is viewed on on my Windows laptop.
But that same gallery does NOT show the Full Screen Expand Button when viewed on my iPhone.
The gallery is not embedded, but launches in a new webpage.
I can make all of the other buttons come and go on both devices.

Thanks

Re: Full Screen Expand Button on iPhone

As far as I recall, I don't think true fullscreen is possible in Mobile Safari on an iPhone.

This web page states that the Fullscreen API is only partially supported in Safari on iOS ("Partial support refers to supporting only iPad, not iPhone.").

I'm not sure if this will help at all but here's a short section entitled Expand Gallery Behavior from our own web site.

Maybe you could try in an alternate browser on your iPhone (e.g. Chrome or Firefox) to see if you get different results.

I know this will not directly resolve your problem but I hope it at least adds a little information to the subject.
