Unless you are using Split or Slide Over views, when using Safari, it is already in full screen mode.


To transform a Slide Over view, to Split Screen, use the grey drag-bar at the top of the Slide Over Window; drag downwards and to towards the side of the screen. As the view changes, lift your finger. Done.


It’s also worth noting that you can easily change a Slide Over to Full Screen view in a similar way. This time, using the same drag-bar, drag to the top-centre of the screen, then release.

The iPad User Guide for iPadOS is also a rich source of information. Here are links to both the downloadable and online versions of the Guide:
