When I open a link in an email it opens in a strip down the side. Will not enlarge to full page.

I had the same issue....annoying. Check out the first bullet below. It solved the problem.

To turn Multitasking features on or off, go to Settings > Home Screen & Dock > Multitasking, then you can do the following:

• Allow Multiple Apps: Turn off if you don't want to use Slide Over or Split View.
• Picture in Picture: Turn off if you don't want to use Picture in Picture.
• Gestures: Turn off if you don't want to use Multitasking gestures to see the app switcher, return to the Home screen, and more.

I don’t find this helpful. I would like to know how to prevent email link from opening in split screen. When it automatically does this after I click on link in email, I cannot get it to open link full screen, nor can I get it to close. Very irritating. Is there a way to not have this happen?

Hi Constantine-Eftihia,

Please see: Open two items in Split View on iPad - Apple Support, Open an app in Slide Over on iPad - Apple Support, and Use Multitasking on your iPad - Apple Support.

Cheers,
