iPadOS 15 - Full screen PDF viewing in Files app?

[Hat Tric]

When I view PDF files in portait mode on my iPad Pro 11 the miniature preview on the left side is always visible.

Does anyone know how to view PDFs in full screen mode like in iPadOS 14 using Apple´s built in apps?

Thanks everyone!

How to edit PDFs on iPhone and iPad in iOS 15 - 9to5Mac

This detailed guide covers how to edit PDFs on iPhone and iPad in iOS 15 with the native Files app, no third-party app needed.

Shows on the iPhone you can enable it by swiping right but on the iPad it's always there. Very annoying and only started doing it in iOS 15.

Don't really want to have to download yet another app to view PDFs in the way we could before iOS 15. Surely Apple haven't just removed the ability to view full screen, that would be pretty stupid if they have done.


If anyone has any ideas on how to hide/disable the thumbnail view on the iPad, it would be much appreciated.

Yes WTF iOS 15 I too was enjoying full screen until this sidebar appeared after update. Update and let me remove it Apple ?

The thumbnail sidebar is still there in 15.4. Commenting on this thread in the hopes that someone will notice a workaround and share.
