Turns out, it is doing this to adopt Android’s native Desktop Mode and give users a more universal experience. On paper, there doesn’t seem to be any issue with that, but when I tested it out, I found a major drawback- the lack of a full-screen mode.
Whenever I played any video, there was always a top menu bar and a bottom taskbar. This always conflicted with the viewing experience and proved to be a major distracting factor. Mind you, this is only with One UI 8; in its predecessor, we were able to watch full-screen videos without any bars whatsoever.
So, what can be done now? Well, there does exist a nifty workaround using which you can enable the Full Screen Mode in Dex on One UI 8 as well. So, without any further ado, let’s show you how this could be carried out.
