How Do I Ensure that POS is Full Screen on My Device?

On Android devices, it is recommended that POS is launched as a Full Screen Application in Chrome:

1.Launch Chrome and navigate to the POS site.

2.From Chrome’s Overflow Menu ( the '...' button in the top right) select Add to Homescreen.

POS appears on the homescreen. When it's launched Chrome will be started in Application mode, hiding the address bar and POS will be full screen.

 

For iOS devices, it is recommended that POS is launched as a as a Full Screen Application in Safari:

1.Launch Safari and navigate to the POS site.

2.Click the 'Share' button (a rectangle with an arrow pointing up) and select Add to Homescreen.

POS appears on the homescreen. When it's launched Safari will be started in Application mode, hiding the address bar and POS will be full screen.

If it still scrolls, double-tab the screen – it is possible that the scrolling is caused because the screen is zoomed in.
