Is there a way to go into fullscreen mode for iOS 7? Like when you add it to your homescreen and just your website pops up not the url bar and back bar etc? Does anyone know how to do this? Ive looked at a few posts saying you can't go into fullscreen mode anymore on iOS 7 but then i looked at the OpenAppMkt web app and it seems to be able to hide the url bar on iOS 7

• javascript
• html
• ios
• ios7
• fullscreen

• This should just be a case of using the apple-mobile-web-app-capable meta tag, as with other iOS versions. Have you tried that? – cmbuckley Commented Oct 31, 2013 at 15:08
• I actually havent, I just assumed it didn't work on ios 7 because of all the answers i read. Give me 5 minutes Ill see if it works – Henry Blaike Commented Oct 31, 2013 at 15:16
• Wow it works... its even better then iOS 6 because you can press links and it won't redirect you to safari. I feel like an idiot, this is solved then haha. – Henry Blaike Commented Oct 31, 2013 at 15:19

If you have access to the HTML, add the follow line to the HEAD:

<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes">

Then refresh the page in Safari and re-add the page to your home screen. (If content="no" then it will not be displayed full-screen mode.)

Here is a link to Apple's documentation on Safari MetaTags.
