One of the more unique features about the new Motorola Razr+ is the fact that you can run entire apps on the outer display. Unlike other flip-style foldables, the Razr+ is almost all screen on the outside, and even has cutouts for the cameras. Allowing you to run apps on a 3.6-inch 1:1 aspect ratio display.
Now, yes, it’s pretty cramped there. Especially since Motorola does have a status bar on the bottom that lines up with the cameras. However, you can enter full screen mode, and get a bit more display space on that external display. And in this tutorial, we’re going to show you how exactly you can do that.
How to enter Full Screen Mode on Motorola Razr+
There are two ways that you can use Full Screen mode on the Motorola Razr+. One way is pretty easy, while the other is a bit tough. We’re going to go over both ways, however.
Firstly, you can long-press on the status bar at the bottom, and in the right spot, it’ll enter full screen mode. In my experience, this is almost impossible to do. As you do need to do it in the correct spot, for it to work.
The second way to do this is, swipe up from the bottom to enter the Recents screen, like you would on the full screen. Below the app, you’ll see an option for “Full Screen”. Just tap on that, and you’ll be put into full screen mode. Giving you just a bit more space to get things done on that external display.
If you want to jump out of full screen mode, you can do this in two ways. The easiest way is going to be to lock your device, and then unlock it. Or you can again swipe up to get into Recents, and tap on “Default View”.
The Razr+ will automatically default to the “Default View” each time you unlock it. Unfortunately, there’s no way to set the Razr to automatically open apps in full screen on the external display. The thought process here is likely that, you won’t want to always do this. But in a pinch, you can make it happen.
