Hiding the navigation bar

Hello there,

most apps work great with the status (top) and navigation (bottom) bars in my Xperia Z5 compact. For instance, Netflix will disable both bars in fullscreen videos. Most games do the same.

However, some apps like Xplane or German media apps keep showing the navigation bar. This looks rather silly and takes away precious space on my screen.

Is there any option to manually remove the bars in these situations? Is there a way without "root"?

Thanks a lot!

Benjamin

I totally agree with you, but that's not a Sony related issue but rather a game/app related issue, contact the app/game developer regarding this, they have to enable "immersive full-screen mode"
